Thinking of learning to row? Then why not take our beginners course on the beautiful waters by Djurgården. We will teach you to row different types of boats as well as the theory of rowing with our excellent, friendly instructors.
We start out in stable boats to learn the basic rowing technique, how to handle the equipment and safety out on the water. After you have mastered these basic techniques we move on to slimmer, faster boats. You get to experience rowing in boats with eight, four and two rowers as well as single boats. There are always several instructors on hand to help you.
Who can attend?
To take the course you need to be able to swim 100 meters fully clothed and be at least 18 years of age.
