We believe coastal rowing shouldn't come with an elitist price tag. Our memberships are intended to be accessible while maintaining high-quality equipment and training. Our membership is £20 a month plus an additonal £3 every time you row.

Absolutely. We run dedicated "Back to basics" sessions every Wednesday at 6pm as well as various social rows.

You don't need any prior experience, just a reasonable level of basic fitness and the ability to swim 50 metres in light clothing. We'll teach you the stroke, water safety and boat handling from day one.

Keep an eye on our events page for upcoming sessions and social rows.

Expect a fun and supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace.

Our club welcomes rowers of all ages, from teenagers to seniors. We have a diverse membership, and we encourage people of all ages to join and enjoy the sport of coastal rowing. Safety is our priority, and we ensure that all members are capable of handling the physical demands of rowing.

We understand that life can be unpredictable. If you need to cancel your row, please let us know as soon as possible as we have a limited number of places in the boat and we cannot run the session without a full crew.

We are not fair weather rowers! We will row in sunshine or rain, but we will not row in unsafe conditions. If the weather is bad, we will assess the situation and make a decision based on safety. We will communicate any changes to the schedule via our WhatsApp group.

Yes, we participate in local and national coastal rowing competitions. We encourage members to take part in these events, but it is not mandatory. Our focus is on enjoying the sport and improving our skills, whether that be through competition or recreational rowing.
