For more experienced rowers, the club has a squad system that allows members to get the training and coaching they need to improve their technique, build fitness and develop as all-round athletes. We currently run novice, men’s, women’s, masters and recreational squads, and use the British Rowing guidance on rower development to ensure that people are in the right squad for their level of ability.

To find out which squad is most appropriate, we invite prospective members to visit the club, discuss their aspirations, and take part in a trial outing. 

For those who have never rowed before, or have very little experience, the first step is taking part in one of our Learn to Row courses.  Our Go Row Indoor classes are also a good introduction to the sport.
