Star Club offers ‘Try Rowing’ courses at low cost as taters for anyone who would like to experience rowing or sculling in safe, stable boats with qualified coaches. Coaching is provided in small groups for 2 hour sessions over a period of 6 weeks, usually on a Sunday morning.

Rowers are introduced to boats and equipment, both on training ergometers indoors and on the water under close supervision. The boats used allow new rowers to develop basic skills and confidence to be able to take out a boat and enjoy a gentle row by the end of the course.

Rowers who decide to take the sport further can join the various membership groups and choose to follow recreational or more competitive pathways.

Rowers need to be proficient swimmers and able to swim 100 metres in light clothing.

Contact the Club Captain, Chris Callow, of the Try Rowing Co-ordinator, as shown below, for more information about current opportunities.
