Adult Learn to Row Sessions
During the spring and summer months, Trentham Boat Club normally aims to offer a few adult beginner courses. We welcome adults of every age, sex and fitness. Unlike some taster rowing courses, we don’t stop at the absolute basics but offer the chance to get a more in-depth feel of the sport. Beginner session involve focusing on the basic skills and techniques of rowing and building confidence. Improver sessions then move on to rowing in standard crew boats. All sessions are supported by coaches and more experienced club members.
Whilst we are happy to accept new enquiries but at this point we can’t guarantee when any places will become available, sorry. Groups are kept small to ensure everyone has the best experience.
Requirements
- You must be able to swim at least 100 metres in light clothing
- That’s about it really!
Clothing
No need for the figure hugging lycra as yet. Learning the basics of rowing is more mentally taxing than it is physically challenging, so wrap up warm (appropriate for the weather conditions) but avoid loose bulky jackets which will tend to get in the way. Ordinary trainers are fine.
Cost
The cost of our adult beginner sessions is currently £135, payable in advance. This includes 10 sessions, through the beginner and improver stages of the course.
And if you enjoy trying the sport we love…..
well, once you have done your beginner & improver sessions – we hope you will want to join the Club! Monthly membership is currently £30 a month for adults (paid by standing order). PLEASE NOTE, THAT AN INVITATION TO JOIN THE CLUB WILL BE DEPENDENT UPON OUR CAPACITY TO ACCEPT NEW MEMBERS.
