This program is for those wishing to learn to row in a group. Four friends, work colleagues or complete strangers are coached for five sessions and then take part in 500m racing! It is a fun way to learn how to row and is a great team-building exercise.
The Learn To Row Regatta is open to everyone with little or no experience or those who haven’t competed for 10 years. Crews can be women, men or mixed. Costumes are part of the fun!
The next regatta will be on Sunday 10 March 2024.
