Want to Learn to Row? Here's Your Chance

You want to learn to row? You’ll get a chance on Saturday, June 1. 

It’s National Learn to Row Day, and East Bay Rowing – the Barrington-based rowing club – is one of the scores of rowing clubs all across the U.S. participating in the free event. 

From 8 am to 1 pm, said Deb Sullivan, director of East Bay Rowing, you can learn all about rowing on land with a rowing machine and the water at Herreshoff Museum in Bristol.

If you “get your feet wet” by trying rowing, Sullivan said, you’ll get a food voucher. 

No rowing experience of any type is necessary. You must be 12 and older to go on the water, though.

Here is the link to the flyer on East Bay Rowing’s webpage.

“People can sign up for a formal time or just come on down,” Sullivan said.

Besides East Bay Rowing, sponsors include DharmaVoyage, WaterRower, Front Rower, Resolute, Herreshoff Museum, the Warren Gig, and 426 Fitness in Warren.
