Do you want to try a fun, new activity while getting great exercise at the same time? Then you should come join New Bedford Community Rowing on Saturday, June 1st. We will have two sessions, one from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and a second from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Rowing is a fun and relaxing way to bond with your friends and family. Rowing is also an excellent aerobic workout for your entire body. It is one of the few sports that involves all of the body’s major muscle groups. You can learn a lot about yourself and will feel a sense of unity as you work with the other people on the boat.

No experience is required, and you will be sure to have a blast while you are out on the water. In each two hour session we will go over the basics of rowing vocabulary and technique, then get on the water for about an hour of real rowing! All new rowers will be aided by experienced rowers and specialized equipment to ensure that the everyone has fun. The cost is only $10 for adults and $5 for kids. Sign up by clicking here and again on the blue “Learn to Row Day” box!
