Today, the issues of training athletes in sports tourism at water distances are relevant. This is due to the constantly increasing requirements for the level of preparedness of athletes, as well as the need for scientific justification for the use of new means and methods in the training process. The purpose of the research presented in this article was to increase the effectiveness of the training process in sports tourism at water distances, aimed at improving rowing technique in rough water. When preparing athletes from the experimental group, specially selected means and methods from rowing slalom were used. The initial and final studies included control tests in the form of overcoming two distances: slalom and rally. As a result of the experiment, the effectiveness of the proposed means and methods was confirmed. The data obtained can be used by coaches and specialists in training athletes in sports tourism at water distances.
