Give Gig Rowing a Go

As part of the BTEC Extended Diploma in Sports Coaching and Development, students are embracing the opportunity to try ‘Gig Rowing’ under the expert tuition from Phil Pring.  For 6 weeks they participated for 90 minutes of strenuous exercise on the water in Mount’s Bay learning the finer skills involved of the Sport. Other similar government schemes (Sportivate under Cornwall Sports Partnership)  have allowed tasters in Golf at the Hayle Driving Range and surfing via the Penwith college’s surf academy.  Sports Lecturer Mike Murphy said that these are great in enabling students to participate in sporting activities outside the normal mainstream
