Discover Rowing 2021

Greater Dayton Rowing Association invites you to sign up for Discover Rowing. It will be held on Saturday, June 5, 2021. This is a FREE opportunity to try rowing in a team boat. We’ll teach you about boats, oars, how to get in a boat safely, and then get on the water and row. This event is for ages 18 and up, and swimming proficiency is required.

PRE-REGISTRATION is required. We will be following all State of Ohio COVID-19 protocols as well as our current club protocols for team boats. All rowers and guests will be fully vaccinated or have documented natural immunity.

How to Sign Up:

1) Email a photo of your vaccination card or positive PCR test (which counts as immune for 90 days after a PCR test and quarantine) to covid19@daytonrowing.org . We will not use or distribute any personal information other than the fact that you have been vaccinated or have natural immunity.

2) To reserve your time slot and get more information, contact discover@daytonrowing.org
It will be great to see you there!

Notes on the event, added to this post on Tuesday, June 8:

We had a really nice day on Saturday for Discover Rowing with the river at 27 feet and sunny skies.

• 19 visitors signed up and rowed
• 20 GDRA volunteers
A big THANK YOU to the all the GDRA volunteers. Everyone worked to make this a positive experience for our guests, and it was so nice see everyone pulling together. Many of you arrived early on Saturday morning to get things rolling, spent for hours on the water, and sweated it out until every launch, erg, oar and boat was put away. Thank you all.
