Since starting with national Coxswain workshops and Trailer Driving hands-on driving clinics, we have held more than one hundred workshops all over the US. With classes for novice and experienced coxswains alike, we stressed safe practices as well as race strategy.

The sport of rowing has grown rapidly, and that growth continues. Rowing clubs and rowers are increasing in record numbers across the country. Accordingly, there is a strong need for educational programs and materials for both rowers and coaches, in order to maintain a healthy and safe sport.
A sound, progressive, interactive educational system is needed today and will be needed even more in the coming years.
