ROWING ON THE THAMES

You will be introduced to the sport of rowing. A fully structured session is designed to provide you with the basic techniques to enable you to get out on the water in your teams of 4 or 8 and work together as a crew.

The whole activity involves co-ordination and interaction of all group members - from just getting the boats out of the sheds and into the water, through to gliding along the river Thames in an ordered and efficient fashion.

The coaching and advice of the cox will ensure that your team are soon rowing and can master the basics. It's not about strength and fitness - but about working as one to time the strokes right and maintain a smooth rhythm.

After a short break to examine the progress and talk tactics there will be a chance for some head-to-head races over a short course. It's just for fun, but an ideal way to put all the lessons you've learnt into practice.

This activity can be combined with others for a full day event, and the clubhouse is a perfect setting for an evening barbeque and social drinks. As the sun sets over the river, your team will have learnt new skills and thought about what drives success.

Prices from £95 per person.
