Learn to Row(LTR)This is a demanding sport, not learned in a day, but be assured that the result of your efforts will be a stronger body and spirit. We laugh together in a joyful, supportive atmosphere. The programs Naiades offers allow you to move at your own pace and ability. We find healing on the water through the power of our commitment, and we hope to provide inspiration to all of those who face the challenges of cancer. We are supporting people who have faced cancer or are currently under treatment by providing physical conditioning, rehabilitation, education, and camaraderie.
