Orcas Island Rowing (OIR) is offering a beginning sculling (rowing) class for adults.

Rowing is a great sport. It is a low impact fun outdoor exercise. Once you become involved in rowing you will be a rower for life. The sport is addictive and rowers are part of a world wide community. There are rowing clubs in or around almost every city in the world. Cascade Lake on Orcas is a beautiful place to row.

Here are the details for the class:

No previous rowing experience is required but this is a physically strenuous water sport so participants should be able to swim and should be healthy and physically fit enough to participate in vigorous exercise. If you are unsure please consult with a physician.

We will be offering more classes if there is demand so if for some reason you cannot make this class because of the schedule please get in touch and let us know if there are other schedules that would work for you.

Pass the word around if you know anybody who might be interested.

Regular Saturday rowing will begin the following Saturday June 22, scheduled for 7 to 9 every Saturday until Labor Day. Graduates of that class are encouraged to come back that first Saturday and beyond. Any experienced rowers including juniors and masters are also encouraged to come out for Saturday rowing.
