LEARN TO ROW – Year 9 up

Our next Learn to Row will be running in Term 2 2025, with Give Rowing A Go sessions being held in Term 1

Run by experienced coaches, our Learn to Row programme offers a fantastic chance for high school students master the basics and get a feel for the sport.

The programme includes both on-water sessions and land-based technique training on the ergs (indoor rowing machines). You'll also learn rowing terminology, how to maintain the boats and equipment, and how to stay safe on the water.
