Philadelphia City Rowing

Open Winter Workouts for the Spring Season will begin on Saturday, January 7th and Saturday, January 28th. No experience is necessary. Practice will start with a brief meeting for all parents and rowers. Then all rowers will get to participate in an erg practice. This will all take place at the Gustine Recreation Center on Ridge Avenue. We are looking for committed students wish a strong desire to join our rowing team. Bring water, athletic clothing and comfortable shoes/sneakers.
