As part of Scottish Rowing’s National Come and Try Rowing week CSRC are opening their doors to all newcomers.

The first Come and Try session was held on Saturday the 18th of June and 17 people came and took the challenge to try rowing for the first time. We had a fantastic day with perfect rowing conditions and all of our participants made it out onto the water in our fabulous stable training singles. They also got a chance to try out our training double and the clubs tub double. Thanks to our coaches and other club members who helped out and well done to the people who came and had a great time on the water.

We are running our next Come and Try session next Saturday (25th June) from 12-3pm and we would like to see more people come and get 'bitten by the bug' So if you enjoy watching the rowing at the Olympics? Ever wondered what it would be like to have a go yourself? Or perhaps just want to learn more about the sport ahead of the racing in Rio? Whether you’re super keen, curious or just want to take a look inside the clubhouse pop in and see us.

No special clothing or equipment needed, life-jackets provided for non-swimmers. Sessions will take place at Semple Loch, Lochwinnoch.
