HERE’S THE COURSE STRUCTURE
First Strokes is our top beginner program. In just 4 weeks, you’ll go from total beginner to confident novice with expert coaching and a supportive crew. Best part? Over 60% choose to keep rowing!

We’ll start with balance, body movement, and the foundations of the rowing stroke. From the very first sessions, you’ll put these skills into practice on the water.

We’ll focus on handling the oar with control and confidence. Strong oar skills will help you feel comfortable and capable in any boat.

We’ll practise moving together as a crew, developing rhythm and timing, and learning how to apply power effectively.

We’ll recap everything you’ve learned, make sure the key skills are understood, have some fun, and challenge ourselves at higher stroke rates.
