Rowing

Date and time

Twice a week on the river Arno and once a week in the gym

Newcomers are invited to a try-out session.

Please note that for this activity new members are taken in twice a year only due to the lengthy and complex introduction that is needed to start rowing. The next take-in will be announced via this newsletter and social media.

Where:

The Società Canottieri  Firenze  is located at Lungarno Anna Maria Luisa de Medici 8 . Look for the little green door near the Uffizi gallery viewing platform in the direction of Ponte Vecchio.

Information

We aim at preparing crews and individuals for competitions. Our objective for the 2021/22 season is to get back into racing! We have our eyes set on races in Bruges, here in Florence and on the famous Vogalonga long-distance regatta through the Laguna of Venice. Novices who train regularly throughout the year will be perfectly able to participate.

Finally, rowing is a team sport - our club has a very sociable atmosphere in a mixed group of EUI students and affiliates. Interested? Write to us, join up to our mailing list and follow us on Facebook.

Why Rowing?

---

Rowing is both a technical sport and a fitness sport. Novice sessions will focus on learning the right movements and achieving a good balance in the boat. Indoor training on the rowing machines (“ergs”) will improve your fitness. We are also a lovely, sociable bunch & the only EUI sports club with their own on-site restaurant and bar!
