Description

First Row provides those with physical and mobility challenges the opportunity to learn the sport of Rowing, also commonly referred to as “Crew”. Participants will be taught the necessary skills of proper entry and exit of the boat, seated positioning, as well as proper technique and form for rowing, including holding the oar and adapting those techniques as needed. The clinic will also go over proper terminology and will start out using a rowing machine or 'Erg' located indoors for safety purposes. First Row aims to teach proper fitness techniques needed to safely perform rowing techniques, increase endurance, and improve the participants’ knowledge and awareness of competitive rowing. All levels of ability and experience are welcome.  If you have a physical or mobility challenge, this workshop is for you.  First Row is a great way to meet peers, learn a new hobby, and develop your problem-solving skills.  We encourage you to bring a family member, friend, or caregiver.  They can act as your rowing partner, provide moral support, or just hang out and have fun! Your instructor is Debbie Arenberg, Adaptive Programs Associate, Coordinator, Freedom Rows for US Rowing. Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes suitable for exercise.  Please note that registration is Free. Check-in begins at 8 am and Activity beginning around 9. Please arrive at 8 if you require special assistance with seating needs, so we can fit you on an erg prior to instruction beginning. The following information is a waiver required for your participation.  You will be asked to acknowledge this information when you register.  If you would like a separate copy emailed to you, please contact the organizer.
