Rowing: Son and I Giving it a Go@!

My sons are college students who work part time. Its the American dream! Working and going to school. They take their classes online and have access to other community events and college activities (based in proximity to other universities). One was a competitive highschool swimmer and being 20 years old he wants to try his hand a rowing on a team.

Not a problem. Signed him up for a rowing class with other young college students to get his beak wet in the sport. If he likes it he may be able to get more serious and become increasingly competitive. It is a great outlet that keeps him focus on school and socializing with fitness oriented sports players of the same mindset. Many of his friends went off to jobs or off to the military.

Perhaps I can convince him after college to enroll as an officer. Let us see what happens!

I did a little rowing and my skills are rusty. I wasn't that good and I didn't really keep up with it but I will be down there meeting some of the rowers, coaches, and mentors. I guess with the few classes I took prior I can skip the entry level stuff (At least that is what they told me. Not sure if that is going to be any truth to that.).

Either way we will being doing a little bit together and I will practice with him. At some point I will probably get in a dinghy and be the coxswain. He is used to me yelling at him already but perhaps this time with a speaker.  😏

I watched this video to refresh on my basics......
