Check Out the Veterans' Rowing Program

Community Rowing, Inc. in Brighton, MA offers free rowing programs to veterans and military servicemembers. CRI holds a veteran women's only class on Saturdays and their Adaptive Rowing Veterans program is vibrant and thriving. Veterans like coming to CRI for fitness, cameraderie, learning a new skill, and fun. See the CRI website for interviews with two veteran participants--one who will be rowing across the Atlantic in February and another who has sights on the 2012 Paralympics in London.
