The Learn 2 Row course is a scheme for anyone aged 18 or over who wants to try rowing for the first time. Learn 2 Row will provide you with a comprehensive introduction to the sport and the chance to take part in both land based exercises and training sessions on the river. The course will take place over 3 weeks with 2 sessions per week, each lasting roughly 2 hours. By the end of the course you will be able to competently row our 500m regatta course in a crew along with 3 other rowers.
All of the coaches are members of Llandaff Rowing Club and have competed for Llandaff around the country. At no point in the course will you be expected to do anything you are not 100% comfortable with, but we do ask that you fully commit yourself to the sessions in order to get the most out of them. We also ask that you only commit to this course if you are prepared and able to complete it as demand is high and spaces limited.
