| A Visit To The Florida Rowing Center |
 |
|
| Recently I attended the Florida Rowing Center in Wellington Fl. on Wellington Lake. I've been going there during "Presidents Week" for a few years now. Fortunately my sister has a townhouse on the lake, making my visits both extra pleasant and economical. I had a great time as usual. You get to row up to three sessions a day. The first session begins at 7:30. During this session you get a video taken of you. After a hardy lunch at the local restaurant, everyone goes back for video analysis. Video is a great way to combat denial It's hard to ignore what you can see on the tube. |

| The coaches are good at bringing out the best in the rowers. They point out your assets as well as your faults. You don't walk away feeling like a total mess, but you know what to work on in order to improve. They're capable of helping every level of sculler, from neophite to racer. I've added a few pictures from the Center. Click on the pictures. You're sure to enjoy the sequence regarding getting back in a single shell single handed. Naomi, the center's present director, demonstrates this quite admirably. |
