Indoor Rowing Workshop
The aim of this workshop by Welsh Rowing is to teach individuals the right skills and knowledge, so that they can introduce safe and effective indoor rowing sessions for everyone. The workshops are open to anyone to participate in regardless of ability as the rowing machines can be adapted in multiple ways including fixed seats, frames to replace the slide or audio commentary can even be provided via apps which accommodate for a wide variety of people with disabilities.
This four hour workshop will enhance the knowledge of coaches delivering indoor rowing sessions in gyms, schools and rowing clubs to ensure that participants are given high quality training sessions, promoting good technique and a lifetime in the sport. Our objectives are that you will:
- Learn how to set up the rowing machine correctly
- Understand what correct rowing technique is and the key points
- Know how to coach the basics of indoor rowing following British Rowing Technique
- Understand general maintenance of the indoor rowing machine
- Have awareness of how to progress knowledge and opportunities in rowing
