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)
