Junior Learn To Row
The Junior Learn to Row is aimed at 12 to 16 year olds and is run by one of our experienced Junior coaches, Tim Spencer.
Learn to Row training sessions take place on Tuesdays after school and Sunday mornings. Beginners are offered 2 free trial sessions before being asked to pay the annual membership subscription.
The aim is for new rowers to complete their British Rowing level 1 within 6 months and move to rowing on the river/canal.
For more information please contact our Junior Coordinator.
Learn To Cox
Cox’s are an integral part of the success of many of the clubs larger boats. A good cox can make the difference between having an enjoyable outing or not getting out at all. We welcome coxes throughout the year as we don’t run specific courses for those new to the sport, or wanting to develop their knowledge of the skills required.
