Is rowing a place for my athlete? What is rowing all about?

Short answer: Yes, rowing is a place for your athlete. 

Longer answer: Rowing is a truly democratic sport.  It requires a willingness to work hard and be part of a team. This sport encourages unity, rewarding those who think of their team first and foremost, versus themselves. Moreover, rowing is unique in that it can be easily adapted for many with physical disabilities.  If your athlete is interested in rowing, we encourage you to use the Find a Club feature to find a club near you and check out the Learn about Rowing page of our website. Most clubs hold Learn-to-Row programs throughout the year when new athletes can try out or join the team.
