To the Editor:
As the summer programs at Old Lyme Rowing Association/Blood Street Sculls wind to a close, it is important to celebrate how fortunate we are to have an inclusive, successful program.
158 kids ranging in age from 11-17 enjoyed learning to row, refining their skills and racing locally. The adult programs welcomed over 80 adults ranging in age from 18-75. National Learn To Row day allowed 65 people who had never rowed to give it a try. This event is free, and is completely volunteer supported. Athletes from our programs will be representing the US in international competition at World Championships, Junior World Championships and other international regattas.
Old Lyme Rowing Association/Blood Street Sculls is happy to welcome anyone into the program that best fits their ability, schedule and budget.
Sincerely,
Candace Fuchs,
Old Lyme.
