Q. I haven’t rowed before can I learn with you?
A. Given our size we don’t have any full time coaches, however the channel view centre offers an amazing learn to row course. Blade I, Blades II and Blades III course. These are suitable to take you from a complete beginner all the way to handling a race boat.
Blades I:
Blades 1 is the first step in learning how to scull and row. On the course, you’ll learn how to use an indoor rowing machine effectively, how to get afloat safely and basic techniques of sculling individually and within a crew. You’ll also get to know basic terminology about your boat and oars.
All participants start at the same level, so there’s no pressure to learn quickly. Everyone will make mistakes, but the most important thing is to have fun, meet new people and learn something new, and if you have any problems, recreational rowers will be on hand to tell you first hand what to expect!
Blades II:
Blades 2 is a natural progression from Blades 1. The course will enable you to further develop and reinforce your sculling skills, both individually and as a crew. By the end of the course, individuals will move from beginner singles and fours to hybrid singles and doubles.
Upon completion, participants will be able to join the Adult Recreational Rowing Club at Cardiff Rowing Centre, details of which will be provided during the course.
Blades III:
Blades 3 aims to progress participants from a hybrid boat into a fine single scull. The course will build on the base skills learnt at Blades 1 and 2, enabling rowers to scull a racing shell confidently and safely.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to join any rowing club with a good base of knowledge to progress.
