If you’ve ever watched those sleek boats glide over the water and wondered what it’d be like to be the one racing along then come out to the “National Learn to Row” clinic at the Dee Campbell Boathouse in Old Town (Alexandria, VA) this Saturday, June 7. They’ll teach you the basics on the erg and even get you out on the water.
It’s a very DC thing to do ~ Washington DC was recently ranked “Fittest City in the US” by the American College of Sports Medicine. I’m guessing that fitness includes Northern Virginia seeing as we’re so close. Click here for additional information on Learn To Row!

Cool post. Unfortunately, out of town so can’t take advantage. I love watching those rowing team rocket through the water.

Sorry you’re going to miss the fun but it’s an annual event so maybe next year 😉 I’m just hoping I don’t end up “swimming”

I’ve been in kayaks, canoes, sunfish but this will be my first time in one of these boats. Looking forward to giving it a try (and not tipping over since I DON’T want to swim in the Potomac). I’ll let you know how it goes…
