Development rowing course

The Development program is designed for individuals who have already completed the Novice/Beginner course or have some prior rowing experience. The course focuses on improving technique and building endurance, with the aim of allowing rowers to continue to progress and improve their skills.

This course places higher emphasis on refining rowing skills, improving performance on the water and developing a better understanding of the sport. The aim is to help rowers achieve greater proficiency, whether they are looking to train at a higher level or simply want to continue to improve their skills and enjoy rowings’ many benefits.

Overview of the course:

Locatie
TopRow Amsterdam heeft uitstekende faciliteiten. De omkleedruimtes en douches zijn voor zowel groepen als individuen ingericht. Voor al uw waardevolle voorwerpen zijn er kluisjes beschikbaar. Ná uw roeiles zal Team TopRow voor u klaarstaan achter de bar om drankjes en hapjes te serveren op ons uniek gelegen, vaak zonovergoten terras aan de waterkant. Met hartje Amsterdam op steenworp afstand kunt u gemakkelijk even afstand nemen van de stadse hectiek en genieten van een ontspannende roeiles.

Kleding
De beste kleding om in te roeien is elastisch, zacht en ademend in combinatie met een eenvoudig paar sportschoenen. Losse broeken of T-shirts kunnen verstrikt raken in de wieltjes onder de bewegend roeizitjes. Losse tops kunnen blijven haken in de riemen (roeispaan). Vermijd daarom volumineuze jassen of sweatshirts. Over het algemeen is het advies om u zo te kleden alsof u gaat hardlopen; met strakke broek en shirt/jas. 
Extra tips:
• waterflesje
• petje (tegen de zon of regen)
