Learn to Row

During 2026 why not join one of our Learn to Row Courses that we have lined up for this year.

Absolutely no experience necessary - over the years, we’ve welcomed everyone, from the nervous and the unfit to those ticking off a bucket list. The course is also perfect for anyone who used to row and would like to get back into the sport. Our friendly and fully equipped rowing club is ready for all levels and offers a safe and supportive environment to get you started.

Providing you are over the aged of 18, whether you're a young adult or young at heart, you're welcome to join us. As this is a water-based course there is also a requirement that you are at able to swim.

Over the 6 week course, you will learn the fundamentals of rowing, gain confidence in your rowing skills, become fitter, and enjoy the incredible experience of being on the water. Additionally, you'll learn about boats and oars, practise proper posture and boat handling, and understand health and safety protocols. Training takes place both on our rowing machines and on the surprisingly scenic River Don.

On completion of the Learn to Row Course you can become full members of our friendly club and you will be invited to join our novice squad. You will continue to be coached, and eventually, you will move up into the general men and women's squads. The club offers evening weekday and morning weekend sessions in the summer and weekend sessions in the winter, along with indoors training all year round.

The Learn to Row Course costs £99. The dates and timings for 2026 are yet to be confirmed.
