How can a kid take up rowing if the local high schools don't have rowing programs?

From what I’ve seen around here and as others have said or alluded to, body type is really important in rowing and sometimes matters more than experience. A HS senior we know was spotted in a weight room while training for a different sport and offered a full scholarship to one of the top rowing programs in the country, having never rowed a day in her life (but is an excellent athlete in other sports)! She accepted and will be rowing there next year!
