Enhance Racing Skills

This is a one-day course aimed at improving your river racing skills and building confidence in race conditions.

The river at Twickenham is unique in that it takes place on the maintained level, giving you consistent conditions that are ideal for practising race technique, boat control and decision-making.

The course will also include a guide to the racing rules and start procedures, with plenty of opportunity to put these into practice. The session will take place predominantly on the water, focusing on skills such as race pacing, positioning, overtaking and handling busy river situations.

The ratio of students to instructors will be 2:1, ensuring plenty of individual feedback and tailored coaching throughout the day.

Course duration will be over five hours with an agreed break for a lunch snack. Hot drinks will be available during the course, and there will be time for questions, feedback and planning your next steps in river racing.
