to want to learn to row at the age of 46

[adogcalledbetty]

My 2 DDs do rowing with there school (the out on the water type, not the machine type). Now theres an offer for parents to join a summer course to learn rowing. I'd love to do it but I've never been sporty and feel old and unfit.

My DDs have been encouraging but only cause its on a different night to there training so I won't embarrass them.

Really want to do this but scared i'll make a fool of myself and just not be up to it.

I learnt to sail at the grand old age of 43. It's great fun.

Do it, it's fun......and good for you to boot.

46 you say? Thats no age.

I agree rowing is fun for any age.

I'm 45 and in the last 2 years have done my first triathlon, and based on that, taken up open water swimming. My swimming is the best its ever been at the moment. birds go on.....
