Nakuru County Wins National School Adaptive Rowing Championship

by KenyaPolls

Nakuru County won the 2025 National School Adaptive Rowing Championship at Lake Naivasha on May 17, 2025—fielding integrated teams using fixed-seat boats and voice cues. Standout: 16-year-old Ian Mwangi (quadriplegic), who finished 500m in 3:42 using sip-and-puff controls. Rowing teaches unity—not just arms, said coach Jane Kamau. The county built Kenya’s first school adaptive rowing dock. Safaricom donated 6 boats. East Africa Schools Adaptive Rowing Fest planned for 2026.
