Why go
Canottieri Lario is a rowing society founded in 1891 and based in Como. It is an accredited sports-introduction centre, and every year it runs courses that bring younger people closer to rowing, from late September through to the end of May, with a separate summer course in June and July. The instructors are sport-science graduates or federal rowing coaches, helped by athletes who are still competing.
The clubhouse is a white rationalist building from 1931 on the lakefront. Inside are a rowing tank, a double gym, a sauna and a boat hall, while upstairs there is a restaurant serving local Lake Como cooking, a hanging pool for members in the warmer months and a large sun terrace that is sometimes used for events.
