Junior Rowing: year 9 and up
We offer rowing for juniors from year 9 up (turning 14 during the academic year). We coach from beginners and upwards, with the aim to get them to British Rowing racing if desired. We require all juniors to be strong swimmers, able to swim 50 meters in light clothing and 5 meters underwater.
The club adheres to British Rowing and Medway Child Safeguarding protocols. DBS checked coach and committee members are available to oversee rowing activity for younger rowers.
Get in touch, let us know your previous experience and come down for a tour of the club.
