Our 'Learn-to-Row' and Development Programme
We run a ‘Learn to Row’ Programme, this programme usually lasts 6 weeks, and you will be rowing with other rowers of similar ability, progressing together. During these weeks you will learn the basics of gig rowing, and start working on timing and bladework in particular.
After completing the ‘Learn to Row’ programme, you will be able to move either into a ‘Development Crew’ to bring you to a level where you can compete at regattas, or if you would rather there is also to option to join the social rowers instead.
If you would like to give gig rowing a try, you can get in touch with us through our Facebook page or you can get in touch with us here.
Getting started in any new sport can be daunting. To help with this, we've put together a list of frequently asked questions which can be found at the bottom of this page. We are a friendly, welcoming club so if you don't find the answer to your question in the FAQ's just send us a message.
Experienced Rowers and Coxswains
We welcome any experienced rowers or coxwains looking to join TRRC with open arms.
Your path into a crew will of course be tailored to your ability and ambitions. We hold regular selections for major events so you'll soon find yourself in a crew.
Social Rowing
We have a thriving and growing group of members who row simply for the pleasure of rowing. New club members who do not wish to make the commitment to competitive rowing, past competitive members and current competitive members who also wish to row socially together make up this group.
The social rowers typically meet on Wednesday mornings and spend the whole morning visiting small creeks, watching wildlife, taking photos and chatting, having brunch in a cafe on the river, and in the summer occasionally having a picnic and swim at one of the secluded beaches along the Carrick Roads. There is scope to extend the social group to other days and times dependent upon numbers.
The social members also help out at the Club Regatta and other fundraising events. One of our highly experienced coxswains holds and organises the social membership. If you wish to join this group you should contact the Club via our email.
