What we provide

Rowing-focused training

Rowing is a sport which takes place in various environments that each pose their own risks. Whether your training takes place in the clubhouse, a gym, outdoors or on the water itself, it’s important to know how to best protect all people involved, especially the athletes, if you’re someone who is looking after them.

It’s also crucial to make sure that athletes can look after their peers in the event of unsupervised training. Health & safety should not be left to chance.

With our experience in rowing across schools, clubs and national level organisations, we know what risks can occur and how to take preventative measures to actively minimise them and create a safer training environment for everyone.

Our aim is to cater all our courses to be rowing specific, however, certain certifications such as First Aid at Work both 1 and 3 Day Courses are ultimately designed for office-based work environments. This doesn’t mean that it won’t be useful, it just means that there will be material we cover that will expand outside the scope of rowing.

All of the courses will be tailored specifically to your club or organisation with a focus on risks most associated with rowing and outdoor pursuits. 

These can be run at your club or premises for your convenience at a time that suits you,.

What you get

Our courses cover, but are not limited to the following:

– The life signs to look out for in a casualty

– The ABCDE of managing first aid situations

First Aid Refresher

In order to keep your certificate up to date you will require a refresher course every three years. If you already hold a current or recently expired First Aid certificate and wish to renew it, we run refresher training requiring less time and cost than a standard full course.

The benefit of choosing Rowgear to supply these refresher courses is that the training we provide focuses specifically on rowing and the environment it takes place in.
