Navigating and steering on the Tideway
At AKRC we encourage rowers to become independent athletes in a safe and supportive manner. The tidal part of river Thames, aka The Tideway, presents unique navigation rules and restrictions that all rowers should know. Coxes and steers are regularly tested to keep this knowledge sharp and up-to-date.
Please find the resources below, they contain all of the information you need to understand the navigation rules on the Tideway and how to share the river safely and responsibly
