Introducing our Learn to Row Regatta, a fantastic opportunity for groups of four friends, colleagues, or even strangers to learn rowing together. Over five coaching sessions, participants bond and build skills, culminating in a thrilling 500m race. It’s not just about rowing; it’s a fun team-building experience!
Open to all, regardless of experience or time away from competition, crews can be all-female, all-male, or mixed. And don’t forget the costumes – they’re all part of the fun!
Our 2024 Learn to Row Regatta on March 10th was a blast! Take a peek at some snapshots below and stay tuned for details on our next regatta in 2025!
Training
Training ideally starts December/January and runs through to the event in March. Lessons are provided by a dedicated coach who will work with the crew to prepare for the event.
Training sessions are organised by the crew and coach at times that suit them all.
The Outcome
True team based skills, health & fitness as well as competing in an actual rowing regatta for prizes and bragging rights!
