The historic University City of Cambridge is synonymous with many things - whether that's picturesque colleges, quaint independent shops or the must visit Fitzwilliam Museum. But it's also known for it's water ways and the beautiful River Cam that flows through the heart of the city. If you've ever watched the many rowers practicing along this river and wondered what it's like to have a go, you're in the place as we're offering a unique Cambridge Rowing Taster Session! Here, you will receive an introduction to the club and its boats, take a session on the clubs rowing machines mastering the technique, and learn how to keep the boat stable before take off! Once you are prepped and ready to go, you'll be able to enjoy a full hour of rowing along the River Cam - starting opposite the Midsummer Common. As the link between Cambridge and rowing is so strong, you'll soon be becoming familiar with this iconic sport and get to appreciate the city from the river. Although it's made to look easy by the experts, there's a lot to master. But if you're up for the challenge of learning how to master this iconic sport, look no further!
