The head coach of Team TopRow will introduce you to your rowing coach and the other participants for the relevant course block.<\/p>\n

Location<\/span>
TopRow Amsterdam has excellent facilities. The changing rooms and showers are suited for both groups and individuals. Safes are available for all your valuables. After your lesson Team TopRow will be waiting for you behind the bar to serve drinks and snacks on our uniquely situated, often sunny terrace at the waterfront. With the heart of Amsterdam just around the corner, you can easily get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a relaxing rowing lesson.<\/p>\n

Clothing<\/span>
The best clothing to wear is elastic, soft and breathable in combination with a simple pair of sports shoes. Loose trousers or T-shirts can get caught in the wheels under your rowing seat. Loose tops can remain hooked in the oars. Therefore, avoid voluminous coats or sweatshirts. Generally the advice is to dress up as if you were going to run; with tight pants and shirt\/jacket. Additional tips:
\u2022 Water bottle
\u2022 Hats (against the sun or rain)<\/p>\n
