Rowing and sculling are by their nature, outdoor activities and as such are subject to the vagaries of weather in all its forms. It is important to recognise that contending with difficult weather conditions is part of the sport. Safe enjoyment is the aim, not foolhardiness. Rowing has an excellent safety record. However, it is easy to become complacent.

Find your local club

'Clubs are at the centre of the sport of rowing, and are a key factor in both recruiting and retaining people of all ages in the sport. They provide a community identity for their members and, where appropriate levels of investment and support for both volunteers and facilities have been made, have proved to be highly successful in delivering sustainable, long-term participation in sport.'
