Saturday June 4 is national learn to row day – many rowing clubs are offering free open houses at which you can try on-water rowing in a safe and supervised environment.

You can look up a club near you that is hosting an event here: Click to see

In North Jersey, I’d recommend the following:

Bergen County Rowing Academy (Overpeck Park North End)

ACRA (Monksville Reservoir)

Maroon Blades (Ridgewood)

Passaic River Rowing Association (North Arlington)

Nereid Boat Club (Rutherford)

Rockland Rowing (Hudson Valley)

CrossFitters – this is your chance to try a new sport that you are used to simulating in the gym.  Weather forecast is awesome – try it out!
