We are proud to present First Strokes, running from May 24th to June 21st, a brand-new and inspiring initiative designed to introduce more people to the joy of rowing.

First Strokes is a structured and beginner-friendly course for adults, created for anyone who wants to learn how to row, become part of a welcoming community, and enjoy an active and fun start to the summer. No matter your background, fitness level, or previous experience, you are more than welcome, no prior knowledge is required.

One Team Pulling together

Halifax Rowing Association (HRA) grew from the determined interest of a group of ex-collegiate rowers. HRA was incorporated as a not-for-profit Florida Corporation in 1994, and the HRA boathouse was erected in partnership with the City of Daytona Beach soon thereafter in 1996. The HRA boathouse is located on City Island in beautiful Daytona Beach (FL) and has direct access to the Halifax River (the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway).

HRA’s mission is to foster the sport of rowing in Daytona Beach and the broader Volusia County area. HRA is dedicated to offering programs for rowers, but also to building awareness of rowing for those new to the sport. HRA strives to cultivate a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone involved and interested in pursuing the sport of rowing.

HRA currently offers rowing programs for adult (masters) and junior (middle and high school) rowers. HRA also supports Brooks Rehabilitation, who offer and manage rowing for adaptive rowers. Finally, HRA supports Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s rowing program, who operate out of the HRA boathouse.
