Adaptive Rowing @ Halifax Rowing Club

In Canada, adaptive rowing is a fast-growing sport, with clubs offering programs from coast to coast. A program that offers rowing to people with physical disabilities by making equipment and program modifications to allow full participation. Adaptations can include changes to the seat and oars, and pontoons to increase stability. As with other adaptive sports, a classification system helps to even out differences among athletes, ours is based on the motion of a stroke, Arms only, Trunk and Arms, Legs, Trunk and Arms (people with visual or hearing impairment would be in this group).
