Activities

Rowing sessions
We row throughout the year on weekday mornings, which are ideal for Camrowers, as there are very few other boats on the river at these times. There are 2 sessions starting at 9.30 and 11.15. Our long established sessions are on Mondays and Wednesdays and, thanks to the new boathouse, we have plans to gradually add more mornings, starting with Fridays from June 2018. We row upstream to Jesus Lock or downstream as far as Bait's Bite Lock.

Safety
Safety is paramount, with a duty officer, coaches and trained volunteers at every session, to ensure safe lifting, and that rowers have the right boats to suit their abilities and the conditions. Everyone is well trained on how to avoid a capsize, but is also well equipped and informed on what to do if one happens.

Coaching
Our coaches are all members of Camrowers and have British Rowing Level 2 Coaching qualifications. New members receive up to 6 weeks one to one coaching, starting with rowing machines and then taking to the river in Virus and other stable training boats. Coaching also includes a capsize drill in a local swimming pool. More advanced coaching is available once members have become more familiar with the sculling techniques

Social events
For many members the hot drink and a chat at the end of a session are an essential part of the morning. The Club also holds social events every year, which have included a Christmas Lunch at our neighbouring Bowls Club, barbeques and picnics - sometimes by boat!
