Rower Development Guide – Level 1 to 4

The Rower Development Guide is British Rowing’s unique interactive tool designed to help both coaches and rowers reach their full potential. It provides coaches with a clear overview of each rower’s progress and development needs, while supporting athletes to build the right athletic skills, physical literacy, and knowledge to progress safely and enjoy the sport for longer.

As a rower, you’ll work through the guide by tracking your strengths and areas for improvement, completing key competencies, and filling up your personal dashboard to become a more well-rounded athlete.

🏅 To celebrate your achievement, you can collect an official British Rowing Rower Development Guide medal for each level you complete — Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 — across the five development pillars.

How to Claim Your Medal

• Select which level(s) you’ve completed and we’ll post your medal straight to you.

• If you’d like to order multiple medals, simply add them to your basket and select the desired quantity. We’ll send them all together in one package.
