The first lesson
Please note that participants, after changing in your rowing kit, need to report at the instructor 10 minutes before the start of the lesson. The instructor of Team TopRow will introduce you to the other participants for the relevant rowing course.

Location
TopRow Nijmegen is located at rowing club de Waal. There are changing rooms and showers available. With the heart of Nijmegen just around the corner, you can easily get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a relaxing rowing lesson.

Clothing
The best clothing to wear is elastic, soft and breathable in combination with a simple pair of sports shoes. Loose trousers or T-shirts can get caught in the wheels under your rowing seat. Loose tops can remain hooked in the oars. Therefore, avoid voluminous coats or sweatshirts. Generally the advice is to dress up as if you were going to run; with tight pants and shirt/jacket.
