In the south of the Netherlands, 80 minutes by car from Amsterdam, there is a broad, tranquil, and easily accessible location for athletes looking for a perfect training loca-tion to prepare for regattas in Europe or for the Olympic Games in London 2012.This document gives a brief explanation on the opportunities that are available to crews looking for a good accommodation for rowing.

‘Broad, tranquil and easily accesible. A per-fect training location for athletes.’

The water is accessible from Vidar, the Rowing Association that has developed multiple na-tional athletes and offers international crews the opportunity to train, take a shower, relax in the building and eat. There is a 2km / 1.24 mile rowing course where up to five boats can row next to each other. Furthermore, the canal continues up to 8 km / 5 miles ahead from Vidar to the right on the map below, and up to 10 km / 6,2 miles to the left. There are hardly other boats on the water and due to the trees and high wall along the wa-ter there is no or only very little wind, which provides excellent conditions to train efficiently. Moreover, motorboats can be rent by coaches to accompany the crew, and there is a cy-cling path along the water (throughout the full length of the canal) so coaches can always see their crew and coach them. Because of the conditions named above, the location has been given the B-status by the NOC-NSF (the Dutch Olympic Committee) which proves the quality of the training location.

There are multiple options to athletes for the accommodation. About 400 meter / 0.25 miles from Vidar there are small bungalows where up to 6 athletes can sleep. These are located right at the rowing course. Alterna-tively, there are nearby hotels that are afford-able and accessible by car or bike (5 – 10 km). Between training sessions it is possible to relax at Vidar. Also it is possible to have lunch and dinner, there is profound experi-ence within the rowing association in provid-ing lunches or dinners for athletes. Moreover for weightlifting there are facilities nearby where athletes from Vidar and other professional sports clubs commonly train.
