Fantastic experience: Learn to row was so much fun. I had no prior experience and felt very comfortable and welcome. Everyone was very patient with me and it was so wonderful to be out having fun on the lake and getting exercise at the same time .Looking forward to continuing to row with such a wonderful group. So glad I found this club.
