Men's Squad
The men's squad at DRC has enjoyed unprecedented growth in the last few years. We cater for all ages (over 18) and all abilities and everyone is welcome.
​
The rowing journey starts with a 6 week learn to row course. From here rowers graduate to our Novice and Progression group. We provide as much water based coaching as possible, and aim to provide our new members with a more thorough taste of our club and the sport. We also ensure that all our novices progress at their own pace. From here members can progress to either our Masters or Senior sections.
​
Our Masters section is graced with some excellent oarsmen. The aim of this section is to enjoy the social side of the sport and some of our members also compete at local events. Training is less intense although fitness remains an integral part of the sport.
​
Our Senior section is for those athletes wishing to compete at a higher level. Success has been enjoyed on the national stage, at both the British Masters Regatta and the Vesta Masters Head on the Thames. Training is more intense within this group and we're very proud of what this group has achieved over recent times.
​
So whatever you're looking for from the sport, we're pretty confident we can provide it at DRC!
Indoor Rowing
Not only does DRC offer a fantastic way to get fit on the water, we also provide a bespoke indoor rowing club!
​
Sessions run on Monday evenings, 6-7 pm and Thursday mornings, 11-12 noon. These sessions are based around our Concept 2 rowing machines, as well as lots of flexibility and core stability work. We cater for all ages (over 18) and all levels of fitness. Once you become competent on the use of the machines and familiar with the club, other options exist to train at different times and with different sections of the club.
​
Please contact us to find out more about this great way to get fit and meet new people!
