Coronavirus might have stopped us going out rowing and training at our clubs but despite that Scottish rowers are working hard to keep in touch and work out while staying in. With social distancing keeping us at home other than for essential trips, it has never been more important to keep in touch with family and friends and the rowing family is doing just that.
It has been amazing to see how clubs have responded to this crisis, setting up virtual training groups, running online training sessions, taking on challenges and forming communities online to stay connected. The examples below feature St Andrew Boat Club’s #SABCOffthewater, St Andrew’s University Boat Club’s World Erg Challenge team and Castle Semple Rowing Club’s online sessions. If your club is doing something you would like to share with the Scottish Rowing community, we would love to hear about it. Please email your story to erin.wyness@scottish-rowing.org.uk.
Guidance for Online Training
We are all keen to embrace the opportunities presented by technology and social media platforms to keep members engaged and involved with rowing. Please remember, if you are considering online training activities for your club, make sure you are doing so safely. Our advice for clubs is to follow the same good coaching practice as you would for any other session. Scottish Rowing’s insurers are accepting training via online coaching sessions, however, in all cases a risk assessment continues to be key for the activity planned.
Participant Safety
Safeguarding
If you are coaching vulnerable adults or anyone under 18 please be aware that safeguarding is as important as ever. Here are some useful safeguarding points to consider:
Finally, if using music, the coach/instructor should be careful not to use copyrighted music/material without the appropriate licence or permission.
Thank you to our insurers Howden UK Group for their significant input to the above guidance.
