Rowing is a very accessible sport for people with a visual impairment. 

Unlike so many other sports, there is no part of rowing that requires you to see what you’re doing. It’s about listening to an internal rhythm, locking into that pace, matching seamlessly those in front and behind you, dropping the blade at the same spot at every stroke. Developing an instinctive ‘feel’ for the boat. 

'Row the Rhythm' was originally pioneered by Peterborough Rowing Club.

 

With the support of Love Rowing, 'Row the Rhythm' is now available to people from Hereford with a visual impairment. This programme, designed for blind or partially sighted people offers regular introductory rowing sessions.  These are delivered by British Rowing qualified coaches and include transport to and from the club (from within Hereford City).

​

Sessions take place at Hereford Rowing Club, on alternate Saturdays at 12 noon.

Row the Rhythm is only available to people with a visual impairment.
