WCR is designed for women cancer survivors, regardless of physical conditioning. So don’t worry; we begin very slowly to make certain that everyone is able to fully participate. In fact, many WCR participants never took part in any athletic activities before starting to row as adults. WCR practices focus on basic rowing skills, rowing terms and teamwork, with an emphasis on learning how to row as a crew. Participants develop knowledge about rowing and build confidence in their abilities. As a result, many participants form strong friendships from the shared experience. Rowing is great fun!
