What to expect

Itinerary

That 'wow' factor from start to finish!

We start the experience with an introduction at City of Cambridge Rowing club.This is followed by a half an hour session on the clubs rowing machines (ergs), working on timing and technique. We then put the technique into practice by taking an 'eight' boat out and affixing this to the side of the river where participants are then able to perform the rowing stroke on the water.
Once we feel confident that you are able to follow instructions carefully, we will head back to the boathouse to fetch all the remaining blades. Quick picture moment and then its straight onto the river where you get a full hour of rowing on the River Cam!

Absolutely amazing! I was planning to do this as a one off, but I really caught the rowing bug. Omar explains everything really well and everyone is new to rowing so it’s very inclusive.

It was an excellent rowing session guided by Omar, who skillfully, effortlessly, safely and within a few hours, managed to pass on the knowledge and the techniques a novice rower should know. Thank you Omar for making this learning experience a perfect one!
