“Delta sculling center provides access to fitness, health, leisure and recreation for people of all abilities through the inclusive sport of sculling (i.e. Rowing). We adapt our boats and equipment to fit the needs of individuals so that everyone can participate. So even if people have physical, cognitive or sensory/perceptual challenges, they should be able to find freedom in the water. We want to support everyone, no matter what motivation brings them to us, for example, those who want to become more fit, regain/improve health, find a new sport, enjoy the delta, train for competition, improve their sculling technique, or find an adaptive sport.”
