Hello again Reader Advocacy or speaking up for masters rowing is one of the goals for Faster Masters Rowing. As a business, we benefit when there are more masters in the sport and also when there are more organisations catering for masters such as clubs, regattas and rowing businesses. Since we started in April 2019, masters rowing has grown significantly in participation headcount. Starting a podcast and weekly newsletter to communicate on topics of interest means we now have a large global audience. And we are grateful to you, Reader for reading and listening. Strategy comes nextHaving demonstrated an audience and interest in masters rowing, our next goal is to advocate to rowing federations. Each country’s rowing clubs are organised nationally and some are more invested in masters than others. What should a federation be doing to support masters? I don’t know the answers. What do you think – should every country have a masters rowing national championship regatta? And masters coach training courses? Or a conference for masters? Every Federation should have a strategy and plan for masters rowing. What does a “good” plan look like? This needs to cover all aspects of our sport – from beginners learning to row to social and fitness rowers and those who race. Enabling support comes from coach education, guidelines for club administrators, articles written for masters and a national steering group to guide policy makers on masters’ needs. Today I’m seeking information from you about what your national federation already does for masters rowing. When we can make a global comparison we will be able to answer the question about what “good” is. And we can advocate for more change. A quick surveyWe’ve written an 8 question survey to collect information. Most are yes/no answers. Would you let us know what your Federation is doing for masters? It will take 2 minutes.
I really appreciate you helping Faster Masters Rowing to collect this information. We will publish a summary later this year, and use this to inform our future advocacy work. In gratitude.

Our Advocacy Works for YouFaster Masters Rowing advocates for masters rowing – see how you can use our work to make your rowing club more masters-friendly. When we write to call attention to issues we work to identify solutions, coordinate efforts of participants, and together bring about changes that will make our rowing world a better place. Articles are a key resource for change in masters rowing. Until lots of rowers are aware of issues and how to resolve them, they won’t identify the need in their own club group. So we offer you a monthly article to share with your group – all the topics are relevant to masters, some are coaching, others about group organisation or comfort in the boat. We think you’ll enjoy them – and so will your crew mates. Get a monthly article about masters rowing which your club group can share in your newsletter or on your website – it’s free. all you have to do is say that Faster Masters Rowing wrote it when you share it around.
