Coxswains training and moonlight Row. Perfect evening for both!

Rowing is the only sport where silence is the loudest sign that something is going right.

Craig Lambert writes in Mind Over Water
that the most important sound in rowing
is silence.

The click of a bad catch.
The splash of a blade going too deep.
The slap of a squared blade
hitting the water too early.

These are the sounds of a stroke going wrong.

The perfect entry makes no sound at all.

Experienced rowers hear their technique
before they feel it.
They know within the first five strokes
of a session exactly where their head is.

The boat tells you everything.
You just have to learn its language.

Close your eyes on your next row.
What does your catch sound like?

Novice Session starts tomorrow. Be there by 8:15 am.
See you on the water!

So glad we got our rowing in before this storm🌩
