Lake Sougahatchee

Join the Auburn Student Veterans Association and the Auburn University Rowing Club for a laid-back, no-pressure introduction to rowing designed just for student veterans and military-affiliated students. The event will begin with light snacks and a brief welcome, followed by on-land instruction where participants will learn rowing technique using erg machines and oars. After this warm-up, participants will rotate in small groups onto rowing shells for a relaxed, guided session on the water led by experienced rowers from the club.

No experience is required, and all equipment will be provided. Between water sessions, attendees are encouraged to socialize, cheer each other on, or take another turn rowing if space allows. The morning will wrap up with a free lunch and time to relax with fellow participants. This is a great opportunity to meet new people, try something new, and enjoy a fun morning outdoors.
