Rowing is Unique
How many sports:
- Continually work all your major muscle groups?
- Let you practice along a scenic body of water?
- Allow you to race as an individual or as part of a group?
- Are growing in popularity?
How many sports do all of the above?
Whether it's sweep rowing or sculling, in boats of one or eight, recreational or competitive, rowing is an incomparable sport that many people are learning each year. Why not you?
Rowing is Healthy
Rowers are ranked among the most physically fit of all athletes. This is because rowing works your legs, stomach, back, and arms. By working so many muscle groups, you quickly and efficiently burn calories and build muscle tone.
Rowing is also low impact and, when done properly, has few occurences of injury. It's good for people who can no longer do high-impact activities like jogging or aerobics.
Rowing is Fun
Joining a rowing club is a great way to meet new people. Our club members cover a range of ages, interests, and backgrounds. If traveling is your thing, you'll enjoy participating in regional regattas. Rowing also allows you to connect with nature in a way many other sports can't.
Rowing is Easy to Start, Yet Challenging to Master
Anyone can learn to row fairly quickly. But rowing is not a quick sport to achieve expertise within. It's been said, "there are no perfect rowers, but many excellent ones."
Rowing requires a combination of coordination, synchronization, agility, balance, flexibility, and understanding of the stroke mechanics. It takes years to acquire mastery in this sport. So whether you're up for casually learning a new skill, or a life-long challenge, rowing is for you.
