Learn to Row
Have you seen the rowing at the Olympics or the Boat Race on the TV? Have you thought that there is no way that you can do that kind of thing – that rowing is for really fit and tall people? Well think again…
Rowing is one of the most popular activities in the North East – did you know that we have the largest amount of people rowing in the UK outside of London!
Rowing is an activity for everyone – for those people who want to go out and race and win and for those people who want to simply mess around on the river. It doesn’t matter what your age is – you’re never to old or young to learn to row. At Tyne United Rowing Club, we offer you the chance to give rowing a go. The cost of the courses includes temporary membership of the club, use of the boats and oars, coaching and membership of British Rowing.
For more information on the Learn to Row Courses or to book onto one of the courses, please contact Phil Smark – Junior Co-ordinator
