Beginners

Rowing is simply the best sport in the world! There is a place in it for you, no matter the level of participation you want. If you want the occasional Sunday morning outing, that’s fine. If you want to push for international selection that’s fine too.

Here at the Park we start beginners out in stable training boats belonging to the National Rowing Academy. Once you have mastered the basics we move you on into racing shells supported by experienced club members. As your skills develop you will progress to complete independence in the single scull. This takes a while.

And how much does this cost? Initially, nothing at all for under 18s, a small charge for adults. Click on the Contact Us link for details. Take a look at the Membership page to see what’s available once you are up and running.

You probably have lots of questions to ask. Most of them have been asked before! Try downloading our
FAQs file. For more info about beginners’ courses, or if you think of any new questions, then click on the Contact Us link.

Minimum age 12.

No maximum age, but you may be asked to produce a written statement from your doctor certifying your fitness to undertake the intensity of exercise proposed.
