From indoor rowing and flat water masters, beach sprints and coastal, to ocean adventures – let’s explore rowing culture.

SSN founders Rachel Freedman and Tara Morgan are a couple of rowing enthusiasts with nearly 40 years of rowing, coaching, and coxing experience between us. We love spending hours talking about this sport, and regularly find ourselves comparing notes on the perfect stroke, compliment sandwiches, and gnawing on callouses. We invite you to be a part of the conversation.

Several years later, with her professional life on track, she found her way back to the water. Today Lea is a disciplined, motivated, and insightful rower, coxswain, and coach at River City Rowing Club in West Sacramento, CA.
