Augusta Rowing Club to Celebrate 10th Anniversary of National Learn To Row Day

Augusta, GA (May10,2011) - On June 4th, the Augusta Rowing Club will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of National Learn To Row Day.  This event will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Boat House, 101 River Front Dr. in Augusta.

Members of the Augusta Rowing Club will offer tours of the facilities, ergometer (rowing machine) demonstrations and instructions, hands-on lessons on the dock, and on-the-water instructions.  Experienced rowers will assist in all demonstrations and activities.  Participants will be asked to sign a waiver and will become "members" of Augusta Rowing for the day.  Lunch will be provided.  The cost for participants will be a donation of a non-perishable food item for the Golden Harvest Food Bank.

Competitive and recreational rowers range in age from 12 to 90 so it's never too early or too late to take up the sport.  The goal of Augusta Rowing is to introduce and promote rowing as a life long activity.
