Long Beach Rowing Association

Look who came down to visit the boathouse. Karen Keehn, 3rd female member of LBRA and Olympian rower.

Some of you know her, some of you might have seen her, but the newest members probably don't know about Karen Keehn. She was the 3rd female rower to join LBRA. This was back when not a lot of women were doing sports. Currently she lives up in Bishop, but she still comes down to the boathouse and feels a strong connection to our club.

So we are 98% sure we’ll be able to keep our boats inside, but we do need volunteers to help us bring boats out from the bays/enclosure onto the wash deck! Boats will be able to take out from 6am-10am in the morning. We will add more times as we see the need. It’ll definitely be possibilities for more rowers on the water now. All private 1x and club 1x will be available. Please just go with the rules for now, I can give long answers and they might not make sense, but the bottom line is we can get more members on the water! Start with logging into the iCrew app! 98%- almost there!
