We run rowing sessions for children during the summer months, for children of 7 and over.

The aim is to teach them, how to handle and look after a rowing boat using the four rowing skiffs the club owns, with CRB checked adults as instructors.

We want to give an understanding of how a boat responds and to give them the confidence to participate in further rowing with the club, and in the races during the Town Regatta.

Fun and the enjoyment of rowing are what we want to achieve, and to do this we feel it is important that the adults giving up their time to teach the children, have an opportunity to do so. Therefore, lifejackets should be worn at all times during the session whether on the water or on land, and when not in one of the boats your child remains your responsibility…….besides, you'll want to help launch and put the boats away……just as much as we do!
