Mark your calendars for our annual Naiades Oncology Rowing Golf Tournament to be held on Sunday August 22nd at Lima Country Club. The alternative rain out date will be Sunday September 12th.

Changes are slowly coming. We are still continuing Tuesday Zoom workouts throughout April 2021. With transitioning to outdoor erging at Genesee Waterways Center (GWC), and walks in parks in May, along with the addition of kayaking at GWC in late June-July.

After reviewing the US Rowing Guidelines for Re-Opening the Boathouse and Return to Training; the Program Committee has agreed for the safety of all teams that it would be best for Naiades to begin our outdoor "On the Water" rowing season in boats after the High School Teams are done in the GWC Boathouse. This date will be further determined.

Please email program@naiadesoncologyrowing.com for sign up for workouts, to receive our weekly Zoom link, and for any questions regarding "On the Water" in boats.

Ever wonder what your brain communicates to your body in order to perform a single row? The basic rowing action is a coordinated muscle action that requires application of force in a repetitive, strong and smooth manner. Every large muscle group contributes to this action which consists of the following sequence (from top to bottom):

1. The catch, when the oar enters the water

2. The drive (leg push, body swing and arm pull) that propels the boat

3. The finish with legs extended, body back, and oar handle to the body, and

4. The recovery, when the oars return to the catch position
