@swisslet you usually stay dry at the beginning. This is when you start relaxing a bit that you end up in water 🙃But this is nothing to fear (unless you are rowing on a difficult river which you should not if you are a beginner).Try to think about what you would do if it happens, thinking and rationalizing will help a lot. Do you know how to get back in ? To your question it will get easier indeed. Just keep practicing !
