Welcome to KZNRA
ROWING – PULLING TRANSFORMATION TOGETHER
ROWING – PULLING TRANSFORMATION TOGETHER
Whether your goal is simply to glide over the water in harmony with a school of dolphins in Durban Harbour or to represent your country at the Olympic Games, the same basic rowing stroke can take you there.
Whether you spend your day in a chair at the office or in a wheelchair or behind the wheel of a car, a rowing session in the morning will put you in the best frame of mind to face it.
You will get fitter and stronger than you thought possible and you will make friendship bonds that will last a lifetime and cross continents.
In short, you will have the fun of your life and you can start anywhere, even indoors. That same basic rowing stroke that starts on an indoor rowing machine can help you win a race across an ocean.
We do this because we love it.
Come and find out why.
We believe fervently in equality in our sport. Our focus is on addressing these disparities whether it be previously disadvantaged people, those with limited means, equality between women and men or those with disabilities, there is a home for you here. This sport is big enough for all of us; there is room in the boat for everyone!
We hope to see you soon!
