Freedom Rows – Delta Heroes

Program for veterans and active-duty military of all abilities.

​​Our Freedom Rows program is FREE for veterans and active-duty military with disabilities. You don’t have to know how to scull in order to train with us- we will teach you! Currently our Freedom rowers meet and train together every Thursday morning. 

Benefits of the sport

If you have adaptive needs, we can accommodate you!  We have special equipment to attach to our indoor rowing machine and our boats so you can row with just your arms, or your arms and trunk, rather than needing to use your full body.  Benefits of the sport:

  • Rowing is a total body workout, involving all of the major muscle groups, the heart, and lungs.
  • It can be a great aerobic workout with an output equal to rigorous running, jumping rope, or swimming.
  • Rowing can also be practiced as a form of moving meditation.
  • It is a low impact sport, so it doesn't stress the joints.
  • Anyone at any age can do it.
  • DSC leads indoor rowing practices on rowing machines ("ergs") and all are welcome to attend. Don't have your own erg? We can lend you one!
