TESTIMONIALS
 "Our instructor was great. Fun and patient. Had a really fab afternoon!" |  "A great way to start to experience rowing! We spent a bit of time indoors, and then a lot on the water; the team started as a spider, then as a crab, the we became (almost) real rowers! lots of fun and super thanks to Omar for the spirit of the day!" |  "You are not living in Cambridge until you try this!" |

 "Thanks so much for a fantastic intro into rowing. Really keen to take this further!" |  "Beginners totally welcome! Omar was a very supportive instructor; my mum just couldn’t seem to get it right, but he never gave up on her! I was very grateful for that, and I felt very taken care of. Also, just an amazing way to get on the river, for locals and tourists alike! A must if you are in Cambridge for a spell." |  "I've been wanting to try rowing for years, so I'm pleased I've finally had the chance. The coaching was top notch and as a result we did pretty well as a completely novice group! Thanks very much :) The club facilities seemed very good also." |
 "I had been given a voucher for this as a present and was so happy with it. I am new to Cambridge and felt getting a chance to go rowing on the Cam was an obligatory activity I needed to experience. The day was very well organised, and I thoroughly enjoyed the rowing." |  "It was a thrilling experience to achieve a remarkable team performance within a few hours. Omar was superb at coaching us, giving consideration to our various ages and abilities" |  "After having moved to Cambridge, I was always fascinated by the boats rowing on the Cam when walking by. I heard that you can actually sign up for a try-out, did some googling and filled out the enquiry form. However, since it was mid covid, I didn't hear anything for a number of months. So when I was finally contacted by Omar, and he told me that the taster days had started again, I signed up immediately. Never regretted it - was a wonderful experience," |
 "Omar ran a very friendly and personal first rowing experience, taking us from nothing to all 8 rowing together in front of the Cambridge boathouses. A fun and very enjoyable afternoon." |  "It was a very well organized event with good coaching" |  "Trying things out for the first time when you're older is not only physically harder but also a bit embarrassing...I was so happy to see that the Cambridge Rowing Experience is super inclusive. So, from the get-go, everyone feels welcome no matter where you're from or how young/old you are. Omar's teaching approach is amazing; he has that rare talent of combining patience, focus, humour, and trust. It made all the difference for us to leave feeling great about rowing." |
 "At long last an opportunity to see Cambridge from the perspective of the river, a great privilege and hopefully not the last time." |  “Great day out today with Cambridge Rowing Experience. Friendly people, good company, superb facilities, expert tuition and loads of fun, thank you!” |  "For anyone who has never done any rowing before, the Rowing Taster Day is absolutely recommended! It was a very enjoyable and fun experience, a must on the to-do list of a Cambridgian. A great taster before deciding whether to commit to regular training with a boat club. Our instructors (Omar and his colleague) were very attentive, clear, positive, and inclusive. 10/10" |
 "I had zero rowing experience, it was a really good taster session, the fellow 7 other rowers were as keen to learn and Omar is a great trainer: patient, encouraging and clear explanations. Felt good to have these first slides on the Cam." |  "Omar was brilliant, very personable, relatable, and adabtable to his clients. I don't envy someone training up to 8 people, but he was great! On the day we had one drop out, within moments we had someone from City Club dropping what they were doing and filling in for 3 hours. This is a testament to their club ethos and culture that they have built!" |
