Adult ROWING
Exercise all year long with a group of adults who have the PVRC boathouse in common. Any age, fitness, and experience level is welcome! From November to April, indoor strength, flexibility, and rowing machine workouts guided by a coach help you achieve your fitness goals and get introduced to rowing technique. In warm weather, we take to the water - for fun, for recreation, to improve, and to race. Pick one, or all, with the adult rowers at PVRC.
