Learn to Row

 

Rowing is one of Britain’s most successful Olympic sports and Hereford Rowing Club hopes to welcome lots of new members in the 2012 Olympic Year.

We are a competitive club, with men and women of all ages racing at regional, national and even international levels. Training as part of a racing squad takes time and commitment to your fellow crew members - but being part of a team can reward you in ways that other sports and fitness challenges cannot. And there’s nothing like the exhilaration of being on the river in a fast, fine racing boat!

Any adult without previous rowing experience must attend a learn to row course  before they can be considered for membership. Learn to row courses are only open to adults over 18 years of age. Younger individuals would need to ask for their name to be added to the junior squad waiting list.

The next Learn To Row Course will start in May. If you are interested in participating please e.mail the Learn to Row Organiser

Another way to try out the sport of Rowing is by taking part in the Fun Regatta

After completion of the course participants will be offered the opportunity to take up full senior rowing membership of the club. Many previous learn to row participants have achieved their first win in their first season. And that is only the start of your competitive rowing - you will continue to receive regular coaching from our dedicated team of volunteer qualified coaches to help you and your fellow crew members to greater and greater sporting success!

Rowing isn’t the only way to be actively involved in the sport - see the Coxing page for another way to take part in the action.

Meanwhile any one interested is encouraged to download the recently updated Hereford Rowing Club New Members Handbook  HERE.
