Olympia Area Rowing is proud to announce June 4 is the National Learn to Row Day. In Thurston County this event is sponsored by the local rowing club, Olympia Area Rowing (OAR). Anyone interested in learning about rowing as a fun, physical activity on the water, is invited to a FREE demonstration with a short tour of the OAR boathouse, and a practice on lower Budd Inlet, with an experienced crew and instructor.
We ask you to come by the OAR boathouse between 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on June 4, and register for a 1 hour scheduled time. Available time slots start at 9:00 a.m. You will return at your scheduled time, have a short boathouse tour, practice a bit on dry land (on an erg rowing machine), then go out on Lower Budd Inlet. You will be mixed with experienced rowers in a boat of eight, accompanied by an instructor in a launch to provide a 40 minute beginning lesson. What a great way to try something new!
The OAR Boathouse is at the Swantown Marina boat launch – Directions to the OAR Boathouse
