Open Water Rowing Center

I am an instant Ivan fan after one ERG class. I am so impressed with Ivar's insight and instruction I will be coming back and also asking for his coaching on the water.
Thanks OWRC.

I took the erging class with Ivan Ostojic tonight. There were two new rowers and he was very thorough in introducing basic technique to them. I have rowed for about 5 years, and he gave me an insight that made an immediate difference and that I will work on. He gradually warmed us up with small pieces of rowing interspersed with instruction, then we hit a solid piece of strong cardio, strength and technique. The room is spacious and looks out over the yacht harbor and is on the water. Beautiful, with easy parking, showers, and water.

Coaching at OWRC has brought me into sculling after 45 years away from rowing. Coaching there is first-class. And how can you beat rowing on the bay with the pelicans, the seals, the loons, harbor porpoises and whales? I've rowed near humpbacks and gray whales inside and outside the Golden Gate six times in the last 7 years - near enough to smell.  OWRC is the easiest place to launch an open water shell on SF Bay.

I first learned how to rope at open water rowing center for years ago. Now I am competing in the US rowing national championships., thanks to the support of the OWRC coaching staff. OWRC is the bay area’s best portal to the SF Bay—adventure, exercise, nature, community, and personal growth.
