dfitzo53 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I used to row, but just for a year in high school. We rowed on the Occoquan, I think the boathouse was at a place called Sandy Run but I could be wrong. Maybe if you ask someone at the boathouse they could hook you up with a local rowing club. Or just check on the net, I'm sure some rowing club has a website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Check the links at http://www.gmu.edu/org/crew/ or http://www.row2k.com I used to row for George Mason University on the Occoquan, and I must say out of all the areas around the area, it is by far the best as far as calm water and scenery.. Oh and the location is known as sandy run.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SILKYSMOOTH Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I rowed for a semester in college and it was the best shape I have ever been in my life. I believe there is a rowing club beneath the Key Bridge in Georgetown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Both my daughters rowed in high school They rowed out of Thompson's Boat House which is on the Potomac and easy to get to. Many of their freinds also rowed out of the Alexandria boat house in the summer and fall (it is a Spring sport in high school, but I probably did not need to tell you that) I know that both boat houses have adult rowing clubs. And both have websites that you can google Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASMTrainer Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Is this something you have done before or is this just a spur of the monent thing? If you have never done it before, I will give you this advice, TAKE IT EASY. Rowing is a great workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aikmans Killer No.56 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 Oh, I do row for Mason, but I'm a senior and just picked it up this year. I wish I did it earlier. I just don't know of any of the places around Northern Va other than Sandy Run. I have heard Thompsons is good though, I think I'll try it after I graduate.
