Adult Learn to Row Level 1
The Learn To Row programme is an introduction to rowing at level 1.
What to expect:
-> Professionally trained coaches, specialising in coaching beginners
-> A friendly and welcoming club environment that is open to all
-> High quality facilities and equipment for the best learning experience
The aims of this level 1 programme is:
-> To ensure that participants are able to carry, enter and exit the boat safely, this will also enable your fellow boat users to enter and exit the boat safely
-> To set up the boat appropriately and safely
-> To start enjoying the river in a safe way
-> To learning how to position your body correctly to row.
Teaching will be conducted by a professionally qualified coach who is likely to be in the cox seat during water work. There will be some land work – whilst we try to keep this to a minimum, some learning is best done on the land and then put into practice on the water.
Fulham Reach isn't just any Boat Club, it is an amazing charity that changes lives through sport and we hope while you learn to row you can share our mission to support more people in accessing this amazing sport. You can read more about our award-winning work on our charity page.
The learn to row sessions are sold in blocks of 10. We are not able to substitute missed sessions for sessions at other time. Most participants will need to do multiple blocks of the learn to row 1 squad before they are ready to move onto Level 2. Some participants may choose not to progress and be very happy just enjoying the river.
So, whether you are a complete beginner or someone who has been out of a boat for a while, our Learn to Row Level one squad can accommodate all levels of experience. Our professionally trained coaches will deliver safe and enjoyable sessions, covering everything from technique on the water to the navigation patterns of the River Thames. Each week we have two separate rotations running, each one with two sessions a week. Choose from which rotation that works best for your:
-> Tuesday and Friday at 10.30am
-> Saturday and Sunday morning at 09.30am
Each session is 1.5 hours long, two sessions a week for five weeks with a minimum of four people needed for a course to run.
Please see the table below for availability and rotation start dates. Please note that due to scheduled events on the river some courses will have different timings and if the course is undersubscribed then alternative dates will be offered.
