THE OLYMPIC PENINSULA Rowing Club invites men and women, boys and girls 12 and older, to its third-annual Learn to Row Day on Saturday.
Weather permitting, from 8 a.m.-11 a.m. tour the club’s boathouse on the harbor side of Ediz Hook in Port Angeles, learn about the club’s rowing crews, receive instruction on proper rowing machine use and get in a four-person sculling boat or eight-person sweep boat.Â
Participants are encouraged to dress in comfortable layers, wearing river sandals or old tennis shoes which can get wet since participants get in water up to their knees to enter the boats.
There will be discounts offered for upcoming rowing classes which begin June 9 and July 7. Rowing hats will be for sale by the club’s youth rowing members.Â
For more information, phone Colleen Brastad at 360-452-3493.
For information about the club’s youth rowing program, phone Deana Volker at 360-797-1624.
To reach the clubhouse, go west on Marine Drive along the waterfront from downtown Port Angeles.
Marine Drive turns into Ediz Hook Road — drive through the Nippon mill onto the Hook, look on your right for the clubhouse (there will be signs).
