June 6 is National Learn to Row Day. As part of this nationwide event, Alden Rowing Shells is offering free Learn to Row clinics on Waterbury Reservoir, Saturday and Sunday, June 6 and 7. The clinics will be held both days at the Waterbury Center State Park, 8am to 4pm. Anyone is welcome to attend and reservations are required. A variety of Alden rowing shells will be on hand.
Alden began making rowing shells in 1971 and since then, they've built and sold more than 10,000 boats. Today's shells are lighter than the originals and built with contemporary materials, such as Kevlar and carbon fiber. A range of Alden shells will be available at the Learn to Row clinics, including entry level open water shells (singles and doubles) and competitive skinny singles.
Clinics will run every hour on the hour throughout the day. All ability levels are welcome, including 'never-evers'. To reserve your free, hour-long timeslot, please call 978.948.7692 or email [email protected]. You will learn the basics of sliding seat rowing for the first half hour and then, you'll get to try solo rowing on the reservoir for the second half hour. Be prepared to get wet, have fun and discover a low-impact sport that challenges 95% of your body's muscles and is great cross-training for XC skiers.
