Welcome to Another Rowing Season on the Cuyahoga!


Dear WRRA Members,


Welcome to a new season of rowing on the beautiful Cuyahoga River! After a long wait, Cleveland is finally giving us some great weather, and we hope you're as excited as we are to get back on the water.


As you enjoy your rowing adventures, please take a moment to review the safety guidelines—especially the passing zones on the river. It’s essential that we all do our part to keep everyone safe.


When I’m at the boathouse, I try to say hello to as many of you as I can, but sometimes I may be preoccupied. Please don’t hesitate to stop me if you have a question or an idea to help improve the club or enhance your experience. WRRA is committed to making rowing both enjoyable and rewarding for everyone.


Looking to Get More Involved?


WRRA thrives because of the dedication and passion of our members. If you have some free time and love the sport, we’d love to have you get involved! We’re always looking for coaches, coxswains, coxswain instructors, and sculling mentors. If you're interested, please reach out to Heidi to learn more about how you can contribute.


This is your club—your time, energy, and enthusiasm are what make it so special.


Thank you,

Sharon Romilly
