Iron Women NEED to ROW

Currently at the Regional and National United States Lifesaving Association' competitions, the men's American Ironman event consists of a swim, paddle, row, and run, but the women's American Ironwoman event only consists of a swim, paddle, and run. The row event should be added to the women's race, so that the women's event is the same as the men's. Female lifeguards put their life on the line every day and do the same job as the men on the beach. They too should have the opportunity to compete in the full event to show their strength, power and knowledge as well of the surf boat category. This would also benefit United States Lifesaving Association for publicity not only to recognize Ocean Lifeguarding , but also USLA’s name. Meanwhile supporting women's equality and breaking the barrier and reasoning behind not adding singles row for women to American iron women . * In June 2015 the South East Regional level has adopted these changes for regional only. Other regions and National level, women are still being denied the right to row.
