VLC – Adult Rowing

Adults are an integral part of our crew team. We have several different groups rowing. They row at different times during the

day. Some row early before work, some row mid morning, 

some row on Saturday mornings. We welcome experienced

rowers and new people interested in learning. Instruction is available; no experience is necessary.

 

 

Call Bill at (360) 600-6408 for information on boat storage,

instruction and times.

"For oarsmen, the sensation is different. While running, swimming or even participating in team sports one performs to his own limits, limits set by the individual conditioning and determination. When exhausted, the individual decides to endure, change pace, walk or collapse. As part of an eight, however, one performs at the level of the crew. When every part of each body says stop, inexplicably the boat still continues. Individual limitations reassert themselves only when the race is over; only then is the body released from the tyranny of the shell and allowed to vomit, lose consciousness or gracefully expire." -- Stephen Kiesling from The Shell Game
