Overview
Water sessions are there to improve your rowing step by step. The individual can decide if he/she wants to compete in adaptive rowing races or is just happy to "go out for a paddle". So outings will be designed to match your wishes.
Your first couple of sessions will be on rowing machines to teach you the basic stroke.
We cater for all ages, issues, ability and level of ambition.
Rowing must be safe and practical for you - that is the only broad restriction
All sessions are "open" to all our adaptive rowers.
Safety is paramount and is assesed constantly. We will discuss your safety directly with you.
There is some emphasis on the social - squad lunches are a regular thing. Everybody is made welcome.
The first few sessions are free . You get to see if you like it. So nothing to lose by giving it a go!
