Adaptive Rowing
Adaptive Rowing is a modified form of rowing designed to accommodate individuals with physical or cognitive disabilities. It allows participants to engage in the sport using specialized equipment and techniques, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility. Rowers may use adaptive boats, which can be adjusted for stability and support, and may also have assistance from coaches or volunteers.
This sport promotes physical fitness, teamwork, and personal growth. Adaptive Rowing programs often focus on building confidence and skills, enabling participants to compete in local, national, and international events. Organizations like World Rowing and USRowing support these initiatives, fostering a welcoming environment for all athletes.
