About The Rondout Rower

Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, a Pisces, Nelsie Aybar-Grau not only enjoyed swimming in the Caribbean Sea but she has enjoyed travels that have brought her in close contact to the waters of the Thames, the Seine, the Yangtse, the Amazon, the Mississippi, the Hudson and the Harlem Rivers. Although she enjoyed swimming she had never pursued athletics in any serious way. After a career in computer programming for Wall Street area financial institutions she moved into the Hudson Valley upstate New York area. Then at 60 years of age as a favor to a friend she started photographing the Rondout Creek and the rowers in the Rondout Rowing Club. After four years of rowing both on land and water she became president of the rowing club from 2014 to 2017. Rowing has changed her life. Living steps away from the Rondout Creek has brought her closer to nature and the meditative rejuvenation that it provides.

Why We Swim by Bonnie Tsui

Posted on December 27, 2020 by The Rondout Rower

While reading this exciting new book by Bonnie Tsui I realized what I knew about swimming could fit on one page. How could you fill a whole 258 page book and keep me on the edge of my seat the whole time? One chapter titled “Ways of the Samurai” had me riveted. To give you some background, check out this video of swimming in Japan:
