Well…………..

 

Junior rowing took off in a big way in October at City of Swansea Rowing Club with 15 Juniors out on the water in a combination of boats and an age range of 11yrs to 17yrs we had quite a mixed bunch but all enjoyed the experience

 

This is the first time in the clubs history that we have had the need to separate Junior from adult rowing and the session was a resounding success.

 

My thanks to Julia Jay, our resident Henley Steward Coach, and Rochell Campbel, one of the juniors mums, for helping with the sessions. It would not have been possible without you guys.

 

We intend to add to the Saturday morning sessions with a week night land training session on a Thursday from the beginning of October. This will be looking at developing the juniors flexibility and strength using indoor rowing machines and a body weight fitness session.

 

We are hoping to take a few (if not all) of them to the Welsh Indoor Rowing Championships in Cardiff in December.
