An ergometer, one of the basic pieces of equipment found in almost every gym, is a key element of indoor rowing training. What if competitors give up water for a gym for a while and go for a „dry race”? Competitions on ergometers may seem monotonous but that is far from the truth with this fast-paced discipline. As a matter of fact, they are dynamic, fast and very exciting to watch! Competitors must cover around thousand meters on their machines – which requires endurance but also great speed!

Every year the best Polish rowers – both seniors and juniors – come to the capitol of Lower Silesia to garner medals in the World, European and Polish Championships. One of the most decorated Polish rowers is Wrocław native Paweł Rańda who gained renown by claiming Olympic silver in Beijing.
