Introduction to Coastal Rowing
Event Information
Event description
Description
Here's your chance to get involved in one of the fastest growing healthy leisure and community-building movement in Scotland.
We're keen to introduce more people to the joys of coastal rowing so we'll be running training days in May with the aim of creating safe, competent and confident rowers.
The course will run on Saturday afternoons from 5th to 26th May, and will include;
* Basic rowing technique
* Safety and distress procedures
* Introduction to coxing
* VHF radio familiarity
* Introduction to racing
All equipment will be supplied.
Initially we will row from Stonehaven Harbour, but plan to row from Catterline and Gourdon when weather and tides permit.
The minimum age for the sessions is 18 (or 16 if accompanied in the boat by a parent or guardian). There is no upper age limit.
Rowing and its associated training can be a strenuous activity. You should therefore be in good health and have no medical or physical condition precluding heavy exercise. If there is any doubt you should first consult your doctor.
Course fee : £20.00 per head (covers all four sessions)
