History is being made as Greensboro now has rowing on Lake Brandt. High Point Rowing has expanded by offering Greensboro Crew. Rowing is a great sport that can be practiced for life and at all skill levels. The youngest members of the Greensboro team are middle schoolers. There are high school and adult rowers, too. Saturday, the day the above photo was taken, was the first day on Lake Brandt. Saturday was also the day that the American women's 8-crew took gold for rowing in the Rio Olympics.
The above boat has eight rowers and a coxswain. There will also be boats configured for two and four rowers. An eight boat is 60 feet long. Keep your eye out for these long beauties when you drive or hike around Lake Brandt. For more information on Greensboro Crew, see here. They still have room for more participants.
It's quite a sport, and popular here.
