This is the official page for Balmain Para-Rowing Inc., the Para-Rowing program based at Balmain Rowing Club. Para-Rowing is is sport for athletes with a range of physical impairments and contains three classifications, LTA (PR3), TA (PR2), and AS (PR1). LTA: Legs, Trunk and Arms para-rowers include athletes with impairments who are able to use the sliding seat as well as their trunk and
arms. TA: Trunk and Arms para-rowers are athletes who have trunk movement but are unable to use the sliding seat because of significantly weakened or restricted function of the lower limbs. AS: Arms and shoulders para-rowers are athletes who have no or minimal trunk function. Balmain Para-Rowing Inc caters to all three classifications of para-rowing.
