Water has no Walls

HILARY ABRAHAM has been involved in Para-Rowing since 2007. She spent many years teaching blind and visually impaired children to row and developed a coaching methodology which has proved to be highly effective.

Since 2010 she has been coaching people with other disabilities and using her lateral thinking skills to provide suitable equipment ‘on a shoestring’. Undeterred by the lack of proper facilities, equipment or financial backing, she has managed to teach a number of people with various disabilities to row, and at one time, three of South Africa’s National team had been taught by her.
