Adult Beginners

Adult beginners are always welcome at Belfast Rowing Club! We have a large squad of novices (both men and women) supported by an experienced and dedicated volunteer coaching team.

Here is some key information about joining our novice squad:

  • Before joining, you will complete a five-week ‘Learn To Row’ course that will teach you the basics of the sport. The cost of this is £50. You don’t have to be available for every session, but we cannot refund any missed sessions.
  • The rowing season typically runs from August to December, with a short break over Christmas, then on again from January to June. Rain, snow and cold tend not to stop training!
  • Training sessions are normally:
    • Wednesday evenings (Indoor sessions in the winter, water sessions in the summer)
    • Thursday evenings (Indoor sessions)
    • Saturday lunctimes (Water sessions)

Unfortunately we do not currently have space for new adult beginners to start immediately, but to join a waiting list for the next available space, please sign up using the link below.
