Whether you are interested in cross training, recreational rowing or are
a hard-core competitor, training is a year-around pursuit. Rowing is a
wonderful sport for fun and fitness for people of all ages.
The Genesee Waterways Center is now offering various rowing classes for
all levels.
Rowing is a great cardio-vascular activity which strengthens the core,
quadriceps, hips, buttocks, and upper body while at the same time spares the
legs from heavy pounding. At Genesee Waterways Center (GWC), along with the
traditional rowing technique and aerobic fitness enhancement, we believe in
training functional movement patterns which promote fluid motion and build
more powerful bodies.
Welcome to the Genesee Waterways
Center!
We are a not-for-profit organization located in
Western New York State that promotes canoeing, kayaking, rowing and
sculling on the unique waterways of the Genesee Region.
At the Boathouse in Genesee Valley Park, you can enroll in one of
our rowing, sculling or outrigger canoeing courses. We have
600 feet of accessible docks that comply with the ADA and are the
entry point to the scenic waterways and the trails surrounding GWC.
Our rental facility gives people access to canoes, flatwater kayaks,
and soon adapted cycles. From the boathouse you can also walk
or bike along the many green trails that connect right from our
doorstep.
GWC’s Lock 32 Whitewater Park in Pittsford is the
only man-made whitewater course in New York State; at this facility
we offer whitewater and flatwater kayaking programs and equipment
rentals, swift water rescue training, and ACA instruction
certification classes. It is a dynamic park that draws people of all
ages to the water!
