Bio details TBD
peggy hess - Learn to row and Try rowing Coach
Rowing has been a passion of Peggy's since 2012. She's enjoyed rowing for recreation (seeing the eagles in the morning fishing for their breakfast) and in competitive regattas (hearing the sound of the horn as her bow crosses the finish line first). Her love of rowing, combined with years of coaching youth sports, has prepared her to welcome new rowers into the Lake Stevens Rowing Club and teach them how to row.
Following the tried-and-true Learn-to-Row method created by one of the Club’s founders, Bob Cummins, the reductive process is used to teach balance and technique. The stroke is then deconstructed to enhance ratio and power.
She is looking forward many more years introducing new rowers to the sport, the camaraderie of the Pacific Northwest rowing community, and the Lake Stevens Rowing Club.
Jim Aylesworth - Erg Ed Training
Throughout Jim's years of sports and various fitness clubs he has been a part of, the most significant lesson he learned is that you have to want to be there. With that simple mindset, you will be successful in that training. Jim has been rowing since 2012 and from day one he has implemented that mantra..."I want to row".
Jim leads our club with Erg Fitness nights during the winter as well as supporting our Erg Ed programs for students in the Snohomish Public School District.
