Learn to Row Crew 🚣‍♀️

If you loved your taster row, you’ll become part of our Learn to Row Crew — how exciting!

You’ll take part in our Learn to Row sessions (£4 per session), where you’ll learn the basics of rowing and build confidence on the water. Most people are signed off as Competent Crew after around six sessions, once your cox feels you’re ready.

Becoming a Competent Crew member is a great moment — and it means you can start joining our regular rows, social sessions, and even racing.

Joining the club 🏅

Once you’re signed off as Competent Crew, you can become a full member of the club.

Membership costs:

• £75 per year or £6.25 per month

• £4 per row to cover boat and running costs

As a full member, you’ll be part of our friendly rowing community, with access to regular rows, social events, training sessions and races throughout the year.
