Skerries for Schools is a charitable organisation with the express purpose of giving young people and challenged adults access to the river so that they may discover for themselves the team-work, adventure, and fun of traditional fixed-seat rowing.
Our brands, Skerries for Schools and Thames Community Rowing, provide specific, tailored programmes to engage all our users.
Why Rowing?
Traditional rowing is a fantastic, accessible way to experience the river for both beginners and experts.
The stable nature of the skerry boat will calm any newcomers nerves and help develop confidence, physical coordination, and teamwork skills within a group.
You don't need to be tall or particularly strong or athletic. All you need is a willingness to have a go!
