This fall GMS Rowing Center is hoping to collaborate with Western Connecticut State University to help establish a Crew program for all interested students. The aim is to create both a men’s and a women’s program, trained to compete on the college circuit. The ultimate goal is for Crew to be recognized as a Club Sport. However, until it has established itself as a sustainable program, participation will be financed out-of-pocket.

Rowing has numerous benefits which include:

• Developing fitness and strength
• Ultimate Team Sport
• Great cross training for other sports
• Non-impact sport
• Life-long sport

It is most likely to appeal to:

• Those interested in trying a new sport
• People cross training for other sports
• Anyone looking to develop fitness and strength

At GMS we have some of the best rowing water in the Northeast, coaches who train at the National level and a wide variety of boats.

If you are interested in learning more, PLEASE register at the Crew table on September 4th at the Clubs Carnival or send an e-mail to enquiries@gmsroingcenter.us. A further meeting will then be organized for Sept 11th at 7:30pm to discuss timings, transport, costs and other details.

Your contact person at West Conn is Amy Proulx, Coordinator of Recreation, Intramurals and Club Sports.
