SUMMARY:Youth & Adult Rowing Classes with Sarasota Crew
DESCRIPTION:Empowering Lives. One Rower At A Time.\nMore than a simple slogan\, it is the reason Sarasota Crew was created in 2002\, why we have grown into one of the largest rowing programs in the country and why we succeed in not only producing national championships\, but making a positive difference with every rower we encounter. Rowers from all walks of life come to us\, not because we focus on the importance of winning like other organizations\, but because we create a healthy environment – socially\, physically\, emotionally – and teach the proper skill set to empower every rower to conquer the next challenge in their life. \nWhether you are a seasoned youth or adult rower\, or a novice\, Sarasota Crew has a program to fit your needs\, interest\, and skill level. \nClick here to learn more about our programs at NBP and register today! \n  \n
