rowingGainesville Area Rowing, or GAR, is a non-profit corporation created to promote rowing as a sport for high school students in the Gainesville/Alachua County area.  GAR teaches physical fitness, nutrition, and psychological skills that lead rowers to heightened mental and physical self-awareness.  Through the active participation of its members, GAR provides the equipment and coaching staff needed by the team.  All parents of rowers are members and have a voice in the discussions and decisions made.  GAR is a club and does not receive any monetary support from any school or from the Alachua County School Board.
GAR also includes Adult (Master's) program and a Middle School Scullers program. The team is dependent solely on the work and support of the organization for its existence.
