PARA ROWING CLASSIFICATIONS
There are three Para-Rowing classes recognized by FISA (Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d’Aviron). Note that these classifications are for competition. If you simply would like to explore rowing whether indoor or enjoy being out on the water, then you don’t need to worry about ‘fitting in’ to the classifications below.
1. PR1 (athlete uses primarily arms and shoulders, minimal or no trunk function, uses a fixed seat)
2. PR2 (athlete also able to use trunk, but minimal or no leg function, uses a fixed seat)
3. PR3 (athlete able to use whole body to some effect, uses a sliding seat)
Impairment types that can be classified for Para rowing include: impaired muscle power, impaired range of movement, limb deficiency, hypertonia, athetosis, ataxia, and vision impairment.
