America Rows Newburgh to Hold Water Confidence Graduation
Newburgh, NY - America Rows Newburgh, the Newburgh Rowing
Club's inclusion rowing program, which is an affiliate of USRowing, the
national body which governs the sport of rowing, will hold a "graduation
ceremony" on March 7, 2014 at Don Fernando Peruvian Restaurant, 362 Broadway,
Newburgh, NY.
"We are delighted to have so many children, ages 8 -
15, participating in the America Rows Newburgh Program," said America Rows
Newburgh Director and NRC Team Mom, Juliana LoBiondo. "We have been holding our annual 'Water
Confidence Clinic' all winter at the Union Avenue Y. All of the 30-plus kids will graduate from
Water Confidence training and many will also pass the USRowing Swim Test, which
will allow them to row on open water this Spring, Summer and Fall."
"We at the Newburgh Rowing Club have quietly been teaching
kids to swim and row for free for 23 years now," said NRC Programs
Director Coach Ed Kennedy. "It is
great to now be able to have this program on such a grand scale, thanks to our
older kids who volunteer their time as swim instructors, the support of the
parents, the support of USRowing's America Rows, and of course, the grant from
the Hudson River Improvement Fund which makes the existence of this program
possible."
"When I first came to the Newburgh Rowing Club 3
years ago, no one would say our programs reflected the diversity of the City of
Newburgh," said Team Mom LoBiondo.
"However, thanks to Coach Kennedy, the HRIF, and so many
volunteers, America Rows Newburgh truly reflects the rainbow that is the City
of Newburgh. We are starting our kids so
young that the effects will not be seen for a few years, but look for these
kids on national podiums about a decade from now."
"Industry isn't what's going to put Newburgh back on
the map," said Coach Kennedy, "it's these very young rowers you see
before you right now. Enjoying the
waterfront like these kids are doing is what they did a century ago. It would be unfortunate for the citizens of
Newburgh to lose that enjoyment, when they are just getting it back right
now. There is no public waterfront
property left in the City of Newburgh other than the Ward Brothers Memorial
Park, where the Newburgh Rowing Club is located. If the Port of Newburgh goes through in its
present plan, there will be no more public access to the waterfront for the
average citizen of the City of Newburgh."
The America Rows Newburgh Class of 2014 Graduation is
open to the public but space is limited.
