Learning to Row

Whether you are young or old, we have coaching sessions which will get you rowing so that as your technique and fitness develops, you can then join one or other of the squads and take part in their sessions.

Beginner sessions take place on 12:30 on Sundays (but this will vary from time to time). The aim is to teach the basics of sculling (rowing with 2 oars) and sweep-oar (rowing with 1 oar) and courses usually last for 12 sessions, if you are interested, click on the link to the beginners coordinator .
