Andy Holmes(who won two Gold medals with Steve Redgrave) runs courses for all levels out of Furnivall Sculling Club (next to Hammersmith Bridge)or he's happy to run one to one sessions for complete beginners. A group of about 10 of us go to the Friday (level 1)course and Andy feeds in new recruits if and when they feel ready to progress to the next level. It's a fantastic way to exercise (less stressful on the joints than running)and on a sunny day there is nowhere better to be than on the river. Check out the Furnival web page at www.furnivall.org.
