What is recreational rowing?
Recreational rowers enjoy tourism, sight-seeing, sport and friendship. Crews do not compete against one another; instead rowers go on tours around the world in an effort to introduce rowing to nations who are not familiar with it or who only view rowing as an Olympic sport. In order to be a recreational rower, you must be skilled and able to row with both sweep and scull oars, be able to swim, be able to look after yourself in a critical situation and be equipped with his or her own life jacket. Individual insurance is required for any rowing tour recreational rowers partake in.
For the past 33 years, recreational rowers of all nationalities, ages and abilities have toured lakes, rivers and seas in Europe, the Americas and Australia. Recreational rowers can be junior (eighteen years or under) or senior (over the age of the eighteen).
