“Rowing at the University” project

Since 2021, the University of Padua has been participating in the "Rowing at University" project (Remare all'Università) , presented by the rowing club Canottieri Padova A.S.D. to the Italian Rowing Federation (F.I.C.). The project, launched for the first time in history by the F.I.C. under the impetus of two Olympic champion and former university student board members, is aimed at all university students who wish to approach rowing for the first time.

The project lasts one year, includes introductory rowing courses, and a series of events for peer-level comparison. It is developed in three phases:
• First phase - basic introductory course to the sport of rowing with theoretical training and practical sessions on the rowing machine and/or in the rowing tank (qualification as "Basic University Beginner");
• Second phase - advanced course for perfecting "dry rowing technique" and "on-water" training with boats designed for rowing practice (qualification as "Advanced University Beginner");
• Third phase - preparation for competitions with the participation of all University of Padua students who have taken part in the previous two phases, in university rowing events organised by the F.I.C.
