Members of the Indian River Rowing Club setup at the park to participate in the 10th annual National Learn How to Row Day, which gave anyone interested in the sport an opportunity to get out on the water and experience rowing first hand. “We are thrilled at the level of enthusiasm we are getting from the people,” said Betsy Nolan, president of the club and chairperson of the event. “This is where we want rowing to grow. This is the water of our community.” Over 60 people showed up to try their hand at rowing in the boats, which seat 8 rowers and a coxswain who gives the rowers their instructions.
