“Learn to Row was one of the best things I ever did. Not only did I learn a new sport which has become a major part of my life and fitness routine, but I also got to experience Ithaca in an incredible new way. Gliding along the lake, just inches off the water, makes the whole world come alive.” – Lynn VanDeWeert, Masters Rower
