Rowing Club
The University of Portsmouth Rowing Club offers rowing opportunities to anyone of any experience; from elite athletes to people who have never been in a boat before. As a result we have a variety of different squads within the club which are related to the general skill, experience, fitness and commitment, these range from novice squads – for beginners, up to the senior men and women’s squads for the more veteran rowers.
