REACH. It is a chance to build relationships, cardiovascular health, and
enjoy a competitive sport on the water. Coaches Susannah Enkema and James
Martinez will teach you the fundamentals of rowing. They will talk about
future plans and the fun and competitive sport of rowing. They may be
investigating the option of using another highly motivated and qualified coach
for next season. Those attending will have the opportunity to meet members of
this year’s Gryphon Crew. They have grown us as a wonderful novice team this
year!
