If you have been classified in your country for para on-water rowing and have not competed internationally, you most likely have a national classification status that IS NOT accepted as a FISA international classification. If you have competed in on-water rowing at the international level, then you would likely have been FISA classified. If you have been internationally classified, please ensure that you have a confirmed status, or that your review date has not passed.
