Social Row – Easy going, relaxed outing, usually with several breaks and tips on technique only if requested.
Improvers – To work on improving rowing technique and stamina.
Fitness Session – These outings are about improving fitness and stamina in the skiff (interval training etc.). Suitable for all levels of ability.
Mini Regatta & Social – During the winter we invite other local rowing clubs over for a day of mixed club races and socialising. All members are welcome to come for a taste of competitive rowing.
Regatta Training – Crews will be actively working on improving technique, fitness and stamina and might be practising things specific to regattas e.g. turns, racing starts, sprints. Can be physically demanding and necessary for those rowers and coxes who want to take part in regattas but also open to others.
Race Training – Every Saturday morning outside of the regatta season (mid autumn to late winter) the skiffs race against each other twice over a 1.2km course. Crews are selected randomly on the day from the people present. Physically demanding.
Hamilton Rock Challenge – Timed outing around Hamilton Rock and back - approximately 6km. Very physically demanding.
