Philadelphia has been a center of the competitive rowing world for more than 150 years, with the biggest regattas in the sport held every summer on the Schuylkill River. Ten houses representing the different rowing clubs of the Schuylkill Navy line the waterfront of Fairmont Park, giving visitors an up-close look at the sleek racing shells and the talented athletes who propel them across the water at amazing speeds. For people who want to do more than just watch, Lloyd Hall offers special rowing lessons for rowers of all skill levels. Lessons start with a walking tour of historic Boathouse Row before the group hops on a special rowing barge for a memorable clinic on the basics of this high-drama, human-powered water sport. But if you're not a speed demon and prefer to float your afternoon away in a more leisurely fashion, the Philadelphia Canoe Club is located a short walk down the shore. Guests at the nearby Westin Philadelphia or any of Starwood's Philadelphia hotels might enjoy this unique aquatic outdoor adventure.
