“Rowing is the challenge I didn’t know I needed. I have to get up stupid early in the morning to do it, but the calm water and peaceful sounds of the morning are worth it. I still have lots to learn, but I enjoy having something like this to look forward to.”

Meet our Masters rower Emily (37)! I rowed briefly in college but hadn't touched an oar in quite a long time. After having two children, I found myself wishing for several things: friends that understood what I was going through, time to myself, and an opportunity to exercise self-care. I found all of these things when I took the Learn-to-Row in May 2022. I immediately felt welcomed, and everyone on the team understood the impacts that my children have on my attendance. I love the workouts and am starting to feel comfortable in my body again. My favorite time, though, is when I'm in a single rowing under a gorgeous sunrise, alone with my thoughts. It's truly a moment of zen. Sweeping or Sculling? Sweeping for racing, sculling for relaxation! #rowlife #selfcare #mastersrowing #strongwomen
