"Have you ever wondered about the sport of rowing? Is it very difficult? Do I need to be super fit or an elite athlete? Will I have to get up at the crack of dawn to enjoy this sport? Rowing has become an increasing popular sport over the past few years. You can learn to row at any age and at any fitness level. You can row on the weekends, in the afternoons, in the evenings and at the crack of dawn too and the best part of all is that it is an all year round sport. I've been rowing for about 12 years and was drawn to the sport while living in the UK. I was 44 when I started.

This event will begin with a bit of time on the ergometer (rowing machine), to learn the basic stroke followed by some technical instruction about safety, commands, and how to handle the boats. We will end the session with an hour of ""on the water instruction"" with our capable coaches. What you learn during this session should give you a feel for the sport and insight into whether or not you would like to pursue it further. You will need to bring comfortable sport shoes, tight fitting sport clothing without pockets (unless the pockets can be closed with a zip), a water bottle and perhaps a change of clothing and towel should you want to shower and change at the club. Bring a little extra time if you can so we can have a drink at the club bar afterwards. Further information will follow as we get closer to the date. "

Costs: €20,- goes to the rowing club for use of material (Please bring the amount to the event)

Cancellations are possible 24 hours before event. Members can bring guests, if there is still capacity one week before event.
