The Learn to Row Regatta is a fantastic opportunity for groups of four friends, colleagues, or even strangers to learn rowing together and then race as a team.
Over five coaching sessions, participants bond and build skills, culminating in a fun 500m regatta.
It’s not just about rowing; it’s a fun team-building experience!
Open to all, especially those who’ve never rowed before. The only restriction is that you can’t have been a competitive rower for 10 years. Crews can be all-female, all-male, or mixed.
Ages 12 to 102 are welcome, provided they are competent swimmers, i.e. able to swim 50m while wearing rowing gear, and physically strong enough to handle rowing equipment.
And don’t forget the costumes – they’re all part of the fun!
