Masters (27+)
ADULT (MASTERS) ROWING
For adults aged 27+
Our active and growing Master membership fosters an environment where both new and experienced rowers can pursue their diverse goals. Masters rowers come with a variety of aspirations. For some, it's about the serenity of being on the water, while others thrive on the excitement of competition. We're a social bunch and welcome new members to join us on the river no matter what stage of your rowing journey you are at.

When do Masters row?
Masters engage in year-round training, with regular sessions held on:
- Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:30 pm (4 pm in winter)
- Saturday mornings at 7:30 am
- Sunday afternoons (singles)
Additional times can be arranged with flexibility to suit our group’s needs. Some of our more experienced rowers head out for a pre-work row on weekdays, while others prefer to row during the day to fit around their schedules/lives.
You're not required to attend every session; crews are formed at the start of each row, based on available rowers.
There are many opportunities to join regattas throughout the season, and if you're interested in competing, you'll receive support for training and participation.
Beyond competition, Masters rowing emphasises the broad benefits of rowing, promoting health, fitness, social connections and lasting friendships.
