TRY ROWING!
Get Going Get Rowing is an initiative by Rowing Ireland to introduce as many people as possible to this incredible sport. Our programmes have been a mainstay in secondary schools since 2014. We bring rowing to you wherever you are, whatever your age.
At Get Going Get Rowing we want to give everyone a sport that will carry them through their whole lives.
Whether you find yourself living near a boat club or merely join a gym with rowing machines, learning how to row now will give you opportunities to keep active wherever you may be.

What people are saying
The coaches were fantastic again this year.
Amazing to hear that GGGR was such a success in St. Anne’s Special School in Ennis.
We would certainly welcome you back for another stint next year.
All of our students who participated in the Get Rowing programme really enjoyed it
