I have a visual impairment will I be able to row with others when I can't see what everyone else is doing?

Rowing is a sport that relies very much on feel and once you have been taught the basic rowing technique on a rowing machine and in a sculling boat on a one-to-one basis with your coach you will soon pick up crew rowing.

You will be able to feel how the boat is moving and indeed how others are moving within the boat. You will be able to keep in time with the others in the crew by listening out to other clues such as one sound at the placement of the blade in the water - as you all do it together and one at the finish.. In addition you may have a cox in the boat that can give specific commends to help you follow the crew rhythm and timing.
