Where there's the opportunity to make the transfer from Indoor Rowing onto the water then youngsters will want to give it a go. Six Birmingham Secondary School pupils joined the Eton Rowing Courses earlier this summer and put their dry rowing skills to good use. As beginners to on water activity, having rowed on the Indoor Rower gave them all an added advantage in their groups. Check out the Schools section of our website to read about their experiences rowing on the River Thames and Dorney Lake, the venue used for the recent World Rowing Championships and for the Olympic Games in 2012: http://www.therowingcompany.com/schools/birmingham_onwater.php
