🚣 Club Highlight | Tay Rowing Club

A fantastic few days on the water for Tay Rowing Club's Junior Summer Camp! 🌊
From 27-30 July, eight young rowers aged 12-15 took part in the camp, bringing together a mix of experience levels, from complete beginners getting their first taste of rowing to returning athletes who row regularly through their club or school.

A huge thank you to coaches Eilidh McMenamin and Will Coalter, who once again delivered an excellent camp, helping participants develop their skills, build confidence and enjoy their time on the water.

"It's been great to see the beginnings of junior rowing on the River Tay over the last few years. We hope the summer camp continues to grow, and that it can lead to regular opportunities for junior rowing throughout the year." - Peter, Captain at Tay RC

👏 Well done to everyone involved and we hope to see these young rowers back on the water soon!
