Sarasota offers adaptive rowing

In preparation for the Sarasota Invitational Regatta this weekend, Sarasota County offered its inaugural session of adaptive rowing this morning at Nathan Benderson Park.

Local coaches Alex Alexandru and Joe Dobson, both of the Sarasota County Rowing Club, worked with mentally disabled adults from Community Haven for Adults & Children with Disabilities and Easter Seals to offer the county's first ever adaptive rowing event.

The program is the result of a partnership between Sarasota County Parks and Recreation, the Sarasota Rowing Club and the T-REC Coalition of Sarasota County.
