Rowing Club
The Rowing Club offers opportunities to all abilities; from elite athletes to people who have never been in a boat before
The University of Portsmouth Rowing Club welcomes rowers of all abilities; from complete beginners to experienced athletes. We have three squads available; Novice and Senior Squads, which are both led by their dedicated captains and tailored to the different stages of the rowers’ development. We also have a squad dedicated to land training - for those who might want guidance on the rowing machine, or support in the gym.
Our novice squad focus on learning technique, building confidence and fitness both on and off the water, before progressing into the Senior Squad. Senior rowers train and race in a competitive but supportive environment, with a focus on BUCS Regatta and higher calibre regattas. All rowers have the opportunity to compete in the coastal rowing season over the summer break, with our partner club Itchen Imperial RC, in their run up for the Hants and Dorset Championships.
