Aussie Rowing Heroes Launch New Coles Start2Row Schools Program
Aussie rowing heroes including Tokyo 2020 Gold Medallists Alex Purnell OAM and Rosie Popa OAM will launch the new Coles Start2Row program at schools across Australia this month.
The new program, developed by Rowing Australia and Coles, aims to provide nearly 10,000 school students across the country with an opportunity to participate in indoor rowing – many for their first time.
Rowing Australia CEO Ian Robson said he was excited to launch the Coles Start2Row program at Melba Copland Secondary School in Canberra.
“We are excited about the creation of this new program which is possible thanks to our long-standing partner Coles. We know the importance of community participation in our sport and we are excited to take our exceptional athletes into schools as part of the Coles Start2Row program,” he said.
