The class consists of four two-hour lessons on Cascade Lake meeting at the OIR boathouse, Saturday and Sunday July 14 and 15 and the following weekend July 21 and 22, 7 to 9 a.m. There will be a bonus session on Saturday, July 29 where students can practice what they learned at a fun row. The class fee is $150. Visit the club’s website at www.orcasislandrowing.org for directions and more information about the club. For more info, contact Martin Taylor at martin@OrcasDigerati.com or 376-6935.
No previous rowing experience is required but it is a physically strenuous water sport so participants should be able to swim and be healthy and physically fit enough to participate in vigorous exercise.
