Thais Learnt to row in Brazil in 2012 and has been rowing on this stretch of the Thames since 2013, so she knows it well! Thais rowed competitively for 9 years, rowing at both university and club level. She now takes a more relaxed approach to rowing and wants to pass on her love for rowing to others.
