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!
