About This Activity
Six IN-PERSON sessions March 17, 24, 31, April 7, 14, 21 Rowing is a whole-body, non-weightbearing exercise that can be done individually or as a team. This unique six-session course will feature multiple activities in examining the sport of rowing, including its history as an Olympic sport and in Gainesville’s role in the 1996 Olympics. Each class will also include fitness activities such as stretching and mobility exercises, practicing rowing techniques on ergometers, culminating in rowing as a team on the water. Importantly, learning a new interest, especially one that includes physical activity, is known to slow cognitive decline associated with aging.

Howell Buot is Executive Director and Head Youth Coach at Lake Lanier Rowing Club (LLRC).
