Nassau Rowing Club. - The Nassau Rowing Club (NRC) would like to extend its deepest gratitude to Bahamas Waste for their assistance in donating a porta-potty unit for the NRC’s second annual Learn to Row summer camp.

Their assistance enabled nine students from four high schools to learn basic rowing technique and hone their skills - almost doubling the existing junior squad - and hopefully have fun at the same time!

The NRC would like to give special thanks to Francisco de Cardenas and his team at Bahamas Waste, and looks forward to their continued support.

The NRC is the first rowing club in The Bahamas. It is a not-for-profit organisation, established on 10 August 2012 by six rowing enthusiasts with the aim of developing the premier competitive rowing program in The Bahamas for rowers of all experience, age, and fitness levels.
