ADULTS
I recently undertook the Staines Boat Club Learn to Row course which was very valuable and a lot of fun. Our group of novices was split between two four person boats each of which was coxed by an experienced coach. I found the coaching excellent: progressive yet sympathetic, with lots of very helpful pointers. This resulted in really enjoyable rowing sessions on the Thames, and marked improvement of individual and team ability over the course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in taking up rowing.

Our adult learn to row courses are held on a regular basis throughout the summer months. Each course is run between 13 to 16 hours depending on the time and availability of those interested in learning.
​
The course is taught by highly experienced rowers, who have rowed at a National level and have a wealth of experience. The courses vary in price depending on the length of the course (between £150 and £200). After the course there is opportunity to join other squads within the club, depending on the level you would like to row at. For further information please email us:
