Row to the Future: Why Rowing?

Through the George Pocock Rowing Foundation's youth development initiative, Row to the Future, Seattle is doing what no other city in the U.S. is doing. They are introducing students to indoor rowing through P.E. classes in Seattle Public Schools as part of Erg Ed, their school-based program. Erg Ed provides opportunities beyond the classroom through camps, field trips and indoor-rowing competitions. We also provide support for on-the-water rowing as part of Rainier Valley Rowing (RVR), which helps students overcome barriers to participation in traditional junior rowing programs such as cost, swimming ability and transportation.
