Beginners

Are you looking to become a new member at Warwick Boat Club?

Adults (18+) Learn-to-Row:

Our Learn-to-Row (LTR) courses attract many newcomers to the sport, and equip them with all the basic skills to scull or sweep-oar row safely. Courses last 4 weeks, with two sessions per week, and are designed to allow people to try the sport and decide if it suits them, without a massive initial outlay.

Please fill out this form to get on the mailing list, so we can alert you of any updates and future course dates. Contact learn-to-row@warwickboatclub.co.uk for any further questions. 

 

Completed the LTR?

Once completed, athletes who join the club are then welcomed into the Club Squad with like minded people to allow them to hone their skills, and progress towards the status of a racing crew. We run coached sessions on Saturday mornings, specifically tailored to bring more experienced rowers and new novices together to receive coaching, find new crew combinations, and transition to the senior squad.

Novice racers then progress through the established classifications of the sport based on their performances at regattas.

New and experienced coxes are particularly valued, and assisted in their development by experienced cox-coaches.

Coaches assist all club members whenever required.

 

Juniors:

Our Junior Rowing Section for 14-18 year olds restarted in September 2023. For further information, please refer to our Junior page.

Adults (18+) Taster Day:

A taster session is a great way to try out the sport with like-minded people without committing to a full course or membership. These sessions are fun and are aimed at complete beginners, with an opportunity to try out rowing on the indoor machines first, followed by a coached outing on the water.

Our next Taster Day will run on Sunday 29th September 2024. Please see here for further information and to sign up.

Alternatively, please fill out this form to get on the mailing list, so we can alert you of any future taster days.
