ARC Rhenus - for beginners english version | deutsche Version
can row.
Everybody has the chance to row regardless of body size. Big or small, tall or short, we offer rowing as an activity for everyone as opposed to an elite sport. This means that we are interested in pursuing rowing as a recreational activity instead of top performance as a competitive sport.
If you are interested in rowing, you are more than welcome to take part in our beginners' course. This takes place every summer semester. If you are interested in starting during the winter term and can't wait another five month, then feel free to contact our boatman.
Because of our special club structure the ARC Rhenus is basically for enrolled students of the University and apprentices from Bonn and surrounding area. Guest- and exchange students are invited to join our regular appointments. But in the case you want to participate a beginners' course please contact the rowing club of the University or other water sport facilities.
All you need for the beginners' course are sport clothing which is not too roomy and extra shoes as they will get wet and dirty most probably Of course sufficient swimming skills are the basics for aquatics.
Usually the course takes place every Tuesday at 6pm but please check the semester schedule for changes. You can't go wrong by being on time so you can change clothes without hast. Changing rooms and showers are available as well as a limited number of lockers. The fees are 40€ per semester and have to be paid after the second or third appointment.
After exercising on water or in our indoor tank we usually meet to enjoy ourselves in the rooms of the club. If you have further questions please contact a member of our executive committee.
After two or three months of practice you are ready to go on your first boat trip. This is a wonderful opportunity to enhance your skills, confidence, and routine for a whole weekend.
Apart from technique training fun is what we focus on. Relax any time you want, floating down the river, swimming, fun in the evening, and self made meals are just some of the things which makes these tours unique.
About trips and excursions our boatman will keep you up to date.
