Description:

This program provides a supportive environment for individuals ages 15+ with disabilities to learn to row on the water. Classes will involve team-building, stretching, learning the basics of rowing technique, and progressing to rowing in stable Hudson rowing shells on Duxbury Bay. Students must be able to maintain core stability in a seated position and transfer independently into the boat, with or without assistance. This course is intended to be a continuation of our adaptive paddlesports community, but is open to new participants as well. Past participants of adaptive paddlesports have had developmental disabilities, TBIs, Down Syndrome, limb differences, Autism, and mobility challenges. Adaptive seating and hand supports are available as needed.

Participants should wear comfortable athletic clothing that can get wet and bring a water bottle, sun protection, and any necessary medications. Class will meet at the Rowing Center. Instructors are USRowing Certified Adaptive Rowing Coaches. To inquire about specific equipment or if this program is a good fit, contact liv@dbms.org.
