ALL ARE WELCOME – EXPERIENCED OR NEWBIES.
OUR GOAL IS TO TEACH GOOD ROWING IN A RELAXED ENVIRONMENT AND HAVE FUN.
You are invited to the first annual Fall Development Squad Program. Tonight, 6:00 pm at the boat launch area. Below are the topics we will be reviewing in the next few weeks. Experienced rowers are welcome – its technical rowing and a good opportunity to sharpen your sweep skills, try sweep rowing if you are a long-time sculler, try a different rowing side, build your rowing fitness, or just go out for an enjoyable, low-stress row with a little free coaching.
I hope you will join us, grow your rowing career, support budding rowers, and continue the mission of Swan Creek Rowing Club.
