Our Adaptive Rowing Programme opens up rowing to people with learning impairments by providing opportunities at all levels of ability supported by excellent coaching and customised materials.
LYR Adaptive is an inclusive programme that encourages young people with disabilities to row alongside young people that don’t.
We provide programmes ranging from ‘taster sessions’ for those who may not be used to doing much physical activity, to curriculum activities in schools for young people with Special Educational Needs. We have developed the adaptive rowing competition for the London Youth Games and run a very popular adaptive event at the National Junior Indoor Rowing Championships (NJIRC).
We are also fortunate to have the support of Paralympic Champion Tom Aggar, who sits on the LYR advisory board and Martyna Snopek, an Olympic Champion from Poland who volunteers for LYR
