The Men’s squad includes athletes with many years of rowing experience to experienced novices. Those relatively new to the sport will firstly join the development squad squad which acts as a stepping stone to the senior squads within the club, in order to develop their skills and competitive edge.
The senior end of the Men’s squad is for those athletes wanting to train regularly and race at the national events, with the squad regularly sending crews to the Tideway Heads, Met Regatta and Henley Royal Regatta.
For those who either cannot commit to the full programme or are not yet ready to compete at this level but still have a strong desire to race and improve then there will be an opportunity to race at more local regattas and gain experience at the larger events.
The Men’s squad weekly training programme consists of:
2x erg sessions
2x strength sessions
5x water sessions (including double sessions on Saturday and Sunday morning)
The programme is flexible to allow athletes to fit the training in around their work and lives according to their own ability and competitive ambitions. In the summer, evening water sessions are introduced replacing some of the midweek sessions.
We welcome anyone with experience to get in touch and come down for a trial session.
