What you'll learn:
- Stroke improvement: Refining the rowing stroke, focusing on more detailed technique (such as feathering and squaring).
- Fitness and conditioning: Starting a basic fitness and conditioning program tailored to rowing.
- Team coordination: Working on timing and synchronisation with other rowers in the boat.
- Go further: Start journeying further in your sessions, all the way up to Craven Cottage and beyond!
When can I row?
TopRow courses run for set periods, so we have a set date every 8 weeks when all the lessons kick off. You row every week within those 8 weeks on the same time and day.
Who will I row with?
You will row in a group of 4 (our boats accommodate 4 people) If you’re attending with a friend, let us know in advance and we can make sure you row together. If you’re attending alone, no worries! Most of our newbie rowers come by themselves – when you’re placed in your group, you’ll be rowing with them every week and are sure to make great friends.
If your group from a previous course would like to continue in the same crew, please let us know when you register!
What if I can't make a session?
Don’t worry if you can’t make a session or two! Try to let us know with as much notice as possible, and we will do our best to find a replacement session for you. PLEASE NOTE we cannot guarantee make-up sessions, they are subject to availability, and we require at least 48hrs notice to be able to look for one for you.
