Drummer
Sits at the bow facing the crew and beats the rhythm the whole boat follows.

Training all year round
Summer on the water
From spring to autumn we paddle on the Oder, right in the centre of Wrocław.
Winter on land
In winter we train at the same base, in the gym and on rowing ergometers. In winter we also race in indoor dragon boat events in the pool.
