Contact us about our adaptive programmes

 Our Adaptive Rowing Programme opens up rowing to people with physical, sensory and learning impairments by providing opportunities at all levels of ability supported by a range of technical and coaching resources.

021800221The programme aims to be inclusive, by training individuals with disability alongside those without.  It focuses primarily on young people, but also welcomes adults and adaptive athletes in training who would not find similar facilities anywhere else within the M25.

We provide programmes ranging from ‘a water experience’ for those who can’t take part in physical activity at all, to training at the highest level of adaptive rowing.  Two athletes from the Royal Docks RC (London Youth Rowing affiliated rowing club) competed at the inaugural Paralympic Rowing event in Beijing 2008.   We also launched the first rowing event for the Special Olympics in 2008.
