Try Rowing!

Get Going…Get Rowing is an initiative by Rowing Ireland 

We aim to introduce as many people as possible to the sport of rowing. We want everyone in Ireland to be moving and active, and we want to teach you a sport you can do for your whole life. Rowing is a totally different kind of physical workout, so many people are well-suited to it. On its own rowing is the best cardio exercise around, and when you row with a group, it instils great camaraderie, strengthens friendships, and creates community.

Our programs have been a mainstay in secondary schools since 2014, and now we are seeking to bring our sport to you wherever you are, whatever your age. Learn more about our programmes here and to get in touch, email GetRowingManager@RowingIreland.ie.
