Times of the sessions are from 10-12 or 1-3pm Monday to Thursday. Friday is race day.

The day will finish with a big BBQ which you are welcome to invite your family and friends along to, to watch you compete and for you to show off just a little. There will also be the chance to discuss how you can continue in the sport after the holidays. Everyone on the course will receive an LYR goody bag.

Thames Intermediate Sculling Course
Back by popular demand but ‘tweaked’ to make it even better, is The LYR intermediate Sculling Course. We have made it a full week’s course this year, with sessions all day every day with the emphasis being on getting crews to race at Peterborough Summer Regatta. This won’t be a week of paddling up and down the Tideway. Far from it! You will be rowing up and down the Tideway taking you out of your comfort zone, in unfamiliar crews, unfamiliar boats, unfamiliar coaches but you will also be doing some land based training and workshops to give you a fantastic look at all aspects of the sport. Included in the package is also a free ticket for entrance into The Junior World Championships on August 5th at Dorney Lake and transport there and back on the day.More info about this will be on our web site very soon.If that was not enough, you too will get hold of a coveted LYR goody bag!
The sessions planned in addition to all of the on water sessions are as follows:
Monday: Making your own sports drink – with Baz Moffat
Tuesday: Boxing – Phil Bourginyon
Wednesday: Spin Session
Thursday: Fitness Session – with Baz Moffat
Friday: Water Session – timed pieces and BBQ
Please Click here to apply for a place. Numbers are limited so please don’t leave it too late. The course costs £100 per person.
