National Learn to Row Day will be held Saturday, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., at the Great Salt Lake Marina. This is a free public event intended to give participants a taste of rowing. Some of the scheduled events include hands-on ergometer lessons, an on-the-water rowing experience with trained rowers and information on the year-round rowing opportunities available on the Great Salt Lake.

To get to the marina, take the Saltair exit from I-80. Take the frontage road west past Saltair to the Utah State Parks and Recreation marina office, then west along the marina to the event. Banners will mark the exact location.

Participants should wear suitable recreational/sports clothing and bring lots of drinking water. For more informaiton, visit www.gslr.org or e-mail oldrower@att.net.
