    Why get into rowing?

    It's a physical, exciting and social sport that helps you work effectively in a team.

    Who is it for?

    If you're looking for a fantastic way to stay in shape and you love being on the water, rowing is perfect for you. Alternatively, most gyms provide indoor rowing machines.

    Is there a cheap option?

    Most clubs will offer subsidised rates for juniors, students and social members. Free taster sessions at some clubs are also available.

    What if I want a proper workout?

    Rowing is a fantastic cardiovascular workout. Every stroke uses 85% of your muscles covering nine major muscle groups so it also helps you to tone up, fast.

    Can I take it to another level?

    Join a local club and unleash your competitive side! There are over 550 rowing clubs across the country where you can get started.

    Is there a disability option?

    'Rowability' from British Rowing aims to encourage anyone who has a physical, sensory or learning impairment to start rowing.

    Is there a family option?

    Lots of clubs run taster sessions at weekends and during school holidays- so you can get the whole family involved!

    A whole generation of Brits grew up watching our rowers dominate the Olympics, with Sir Steve Redgrave and Sir Matthew Pinsent leading the medal tallies.

    Whether you wish to emulate the success of the GB rowing team, or just burn a few calories out, rowing is an easy to enjoy sport for all.

    There is a wide range of ways for people of all abilities to take part in rowing, including personal challenges, indoor rowing, ocean crossings, regattas and international competitions.
