The Boat Club
As a rower you will have access to the four weights gyms as well as our erg suite and new three story boathouse in the city centre. The squad are currently investing in a fleet of Hudsons gaining an eight and a pair in 2019. Hartpury University Rowing was established in 2016 and since then have successfully sent rowers to: EUSA, Henley Royal, Henley Womens, and BUCS Head and Regatta. They have sent four athletes through the trials process for U23 GB and with the world class start centre training alongside the squad this is definetly a goal for most of the athletes. This goal is aided by the perfect stretch of canal which has no stream and is flat all of the time. If you are new to rowing there is a novice program that starts the season with fewer session and should integrate you to full training by BUCS. There will be 6-7 days of training a week with 6 water sessions. All this will allow you to make the step up from Junior as easy as possible.
Coaching
Hartpury's coaching team is run by William King, as well as having an intern scheme that allows Masters students to coach the squad and develop their coaching knowledge. This means due to the relatively small squad there is a good coach to athlete ratio. As a result each rower gets lots of contact time which is especially important for that summer racing.
