The Junior Summer Learn to Row is hosted by our dedicated & experienced coaches
and helped by members of our existing rowing squads here on the river Dee in Chester.
During the weeks attendees will learn the basics of rowing knowledge and skills and forms
the first part of Go Row level 1, this will include;
- Learning about safety, on & off the water
- Theory about being able to identify boats and equipment that you will be using
