Rowing Taster Sessions

Over the last fortnight two small groups of students have travelled down to Bristol Harbour for an exciting opportunity to experience some outdoor rowing. These taster sessions have been led by Tim Down from British Rowing and are a great opportunity for students to try a different sporting activity that we just can’t offer during PE lessons!

The students were really excited about getting out on the water and were delighted when after just a quick safety briefing they were able to dip their rowing toes into the water. Students were amazed at just how technical rowing is as a sport and were really challenged by the techniques they needed to use and the teamwork that is involved.

Students came back raving about the opportunity and were all desperate to get back in and try it again. These sessions are hopefully the starting point for more indoor and outdoor rowing opportunities at St Katherine’s.

We are extremely grateful for Tim for offering us these fantastic taster sessions and hope that they are the start of more rowing opportunities at St Katherine’s.
