Learn to Row
Rowing is an exciting and enjoyable sport that offers a great way to get fit, try a new team activity, boost your confidence, and make new friends. Our Learn to Row courses for beginners will introduce you to the basics and get you on the water. From there, how far you go depends on how much you want to challenge yourself. We offer additional courses and different pathways to join our squads, whether you’re looking for a more casual experience or aiming for top-level competition.
