Fourteen incredible women from Gráinne Mhaol Rowing Club are in Puglia for a unique coastal rowing experience, together with Rowing4fun and as part of the #OarsomeWomen project, supported by #ErasmusPlus.

Over the next few days, they’ll be exploring the beauty of southern Italy by sea, rowing along the coast of Salento — not just for the sport, but to connect with nature, promote female empowerment, and celebrate health and community.

One of the most meaningful stops on the route will be the Torre Guaceto Marine Protected Area, a symbol of biodiversity and environmental sustainability. Here, the athletes will be welcomed and guided by the park’s expert staff to discover the ecosystem and its protection efforts.

This is more than a sports trip. It’s a journey of strength, inclusion, and international solidarity — reminding us all that women can truly move mountains… or at least cross seas together!
