Hi – My daughter is 14 and will be a freshman at Wilmington Christian School next year. She’s interested in rowing. We noticed that WCS was listed in your schools that participate in rowing at WRYA. Can you tell us more? How best to get her involved? At this point I guess we would be looking at the Spring season. Are you still having a winter conditioning program? My husband and I participated in that a couple years ago and really enjoyed it. We’d like to do it again this year. Can you tell us more about that too?

Thanks,

Claire Aiello

I am a 37 year old rookie to the sport. Am I eligible to participate in the WYPERS program this summer? Or is there another program for non-teenage novices like me? Any assistance you can offer is appreciated. I have been wanting to learn this for a long time. I heard about you through Tristan Salvadori, whom I believe works there in the summer. Thanks again.
