SUMMER LEARN 2 ROW COURSE

FOR 12 - 16 YEAR OLDS

WHY SHOULD I DO IT?
You'll get fitter, meet new people, and have fun! At the end of the course you'll have the choice of either training hard, joining a crew and racing at regattas, or taking it easy going for a leisurely paddle.

WHO IS IT FOR?
This course is aimed at 12 to 16 year olds. No prior experience of rowing is required. You just need to be able to swim 100 metres in light clothing. We run annual swimming competency tests but for this course your parent or carer will need to confirm your swimming ability.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?
We will teach you the basics of sculling (with two oars) and rowing (with 1 oar). We will cover safety, boat handling, technique and improving general fitness. All sessions will be under the management of suitably qualified and insured British Rowing and Sport England club coaches.

HOW IS THE COURSE RUN?
The course will consist of water and land based sessions depending on weather and tidal conditions. We will teach you in wide, stable boats, with either 2 or 4 people rowing. As a club Mark accredited club all sessions follow the appropriate Water Safety and Child Protection criteria.
