TYPES OF ROWING
GUSPRC offers both social and competitive rowing across novice, intermediate, and high performance levels, to males and females of all ages from 12 years through to masters.
​
Depending on the level of skill and experience, rowers are allocated a level group - Learn To Row, Green, Yellow, or Red - and we also offer specialised school age groups and uni rowing groups across all levels.
​
Sessions are allocated according to level during the weekday mornings and on Sunday mornings. All of our sessions are coached by qualified coaches.
​
All coaching, equipment, insurance, and the use of the facilities are included in GUSPRC's club membership.
​
Whether you would like to row individually or as a part of a crew, participate in social rowing for fun and fitness, or train to compete in regattas, GUSPRC looks forward to welcoming you into our community.
​
Our Learn To Row six session courses are conducted on weekends at various times throughout the year, and are an ideal way to try rowing for the first time.
