About the course

Bewdley Rowing Club offers a number of learn to row courses throughout the year, running from spring through to autumn. These are 9 sessions where you learn the British Rowing basics of how to row. These courses are open to anyone over 16 years old, coaching is provided by British Rowing level 2 certified coaches and competent experienced rowers.

We have stable boats for you to learn in, these boats are designed so even the nervous ones will feel safe and comfortable. The course is designed for complete beginners so no experience is required, it is specifically to learn how to row but also to have fun whilst doing so. Trying a sport for the first time can be daunting so we try to make it an enjoyable learning experience.

Before you take to the water you will be taken through correct technique in the gym, where you will learn how to use a rowing machine properly; this will help when you transfer into the boat. You'll be given a guided tour of the club and the facilities and also run through what's what on a boat, to gain some understanding before getting in it.

There will be 9 sessions in total, you do not have to come to each session, but the more you attend the more you will learn.
