Do you want to join the crew team but don’t know what’s it all about?

Arlington Crew invites you to “Introduction to Crew” – a program for first time rowers and their parents. Come learn about the sport and the Arlington Crew team.

The program will be held on Saturday, February 6th, 9:00 am to 11:00 am, at The Community Boathouse, 270 North Water St. Poughkeepsie NY.

Novice Crew at Arlington:

Novice denotes a first year rower/coxswain (not your academic year). As novice you learn about the sport, technique and terminology. Novice will learn to row or cox on the ergometers (land rowing machines), rowing tanks, then on the river.

No previous experience or boating knowledge is required to be a successful rower; it just takes effort, commitment and a lot of fun. The first year rowing is all about learning and participation. We make a strong effort to give everyone the opportunity to row on the water during practice (weather permitting) and to participate in regattas (races).

For more information, contact Mrs. Bodley, Arlington Rowing Association’s president, at Hkbod63@aol.com
