The women's squad is open to
rowers of all ages and abilities. We are a friendly group of
dedicated rowers with access to an excellent fleet of boats,
a fully equipped gym, ergo room, superb club and changing facilities,
and experienced coaching.
The aim of the women's squad is to win at high-level regattas
such as Henley Royal and Henley Women's Regatta. The coaching
team creates a structured and supportive environment to help
the women's rowers achieve wins at the major head races during
the autumn & winter and regattas during the spring & summer.
Training in the winter months is
generally a mixture of ergos, circuits and weights during
the week and rowing at weekends. Outings on weekends start
at 7.30am and we aim to finish before midday. As daylight
increases more water sessions are arranged, depending on squad
availability, between Monday and Friday.
During the autumn & winter months water sessions involve time
in sculling and sweep boats to improve boat moving skills,
crew adhesion and confidence on the water. Fours and Eights
are brought together for head racing with the primary goals
being the Fours Head of the River and the Women's Eights Head
of the River.
The spring & summer months start with a training camp where
crews are formed for specific events at up-coming regattas.
These crews and events are identified depending on the strengths
and ambitions of the rowers. Crew formation is underpinned
by an open, competitive and professional approach which includes
discussion with the rowers involved.
New members are always welcome
