USRowing and Concept 2 Announce National Learn to Row Day on June 10
INDIANAPOLIS — USRowing and Concept2 are proud to announce that the sixth annual National Learn to Row Day will take place on Saturday, June 10, in rowing clubs and health clubs throughout the United States.
USRowing, the non-profit membership organization recognized by the United States Olympic Committee as the national governing body for the sport of rowing in the U.S., and Concept2, the oar and ergometer (indoor rowing machine) manufacturer based in Morrisville, Vt., have asked rowing clubs and health clubs across the country to open their doors and give people a taste of rowing on the water and on the ergometer. More than 100 clubs throughout the United States are expected to participate.
Competitive and recreational rowers range in age from 12-93, so it is never too early or too late to take up the sport. Anyone interested in taking part in National Learn to Row Day should contact USRowing at 1-800-314-4769 or members@usrowing.org for information on local clubs participating in the program. If you are unable to attend National Learn to Row Day but are interested in learning more about the sport or finding a local rowing club, please contact USRowing.
