What does a corporate learn-to-row day look like?

This option offers organizational teams a chance to experience the sport of rowing first-hand under the guidance of professional coaches. Participants are divided into learning teams in which the ‘psychology of bonding’ are highlighted, and a discovery into their leadership style begins. Each team is introduced to the indoor rowing machine, the rowing shell, and is trained on how to row an eight person boat efficiently. As the day progresses, tactile feedback is used to improve the individual rowers’ skills. Focus and attention is shifted toward working together as a team.

The day concludes with:  

  • a debrief, focusing on activities from the day, and how they may relate to individual roles in a team
  • A 500-meter race between all boats, with medals given out accordingly
