About Port Rowing and the new training center
Port Rowing, along with its supportive arm, the Friends of Port Rowing, has long been a staple in the community since 2011, fostering a love for rowing and healthy living. The organization operates one boathouse in the area, providing state-of-the-art facilities for rowers of all ages and skill levels. The new training center is a significant addition to their facilities, offering expanded opportunities for training and community interaction. Girls’ Varsity Head Coach, Pat Clary says, “We are super excited to expand our operation into a facility on Main Street, and we are super appreciative of our Port Washington Community for welcoming us! We have always felt a strong connection to the community here in Port Washington and we are super grateful to the BID for helping us continue to make a difference for the people of Port Washington! Go Port!”
