Rowing (also called sculling) provides a low-impact, full-body workout. It is popular among patients undergoing cancer treatment and people in remission.

Through the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) Linda B. and Robert B. Wiggins Wellness-Survivorship Center, the HCI Rowing Program takes place at the Great Salt Lake, where rowing is peaceful on a large body of water surrounded by scenic mountains and islands. The boats are stored by the Great Salt Lake Rowing (GSLR) Club at the Great Salt Lake Marina. GSLR is a community rowing association that welcomes cancer survivors in their promotion of rowing for recreational and competitive activities.

For almost a decade, Nicole Cavallaro has taught and coached cancer survivors to row. Any patient cleared through his or her provider is welcome to join this rewarding activity. The season begins in spring and ends in autumn. Please contact the Wellness-Survivorship Center for information.
