Our new rower induction courses are very popular and we welcome you whether you are interested in social rowing or you have aims to be a competitive rower and represent Weymouth Rowing Club at regattas and competitive events.  Your first session is free as a "taster session" and then £5  for each learn to row session.  If you decide to join the club the membership fee is £180 per year per adult (£15 per month) with junior/youth rowing being £30 a year.

Please use the google form link on the homepage to register your interest.

Rowing can is fun and a great way of keeping fit I.deally, you'll need to be able to swim fully clothed for at least 50 metres and to be reasonably fit and well. You'll be asked to confirm this on your membership and medical form if you join the club.  Don't worry if you are not such a good swimmer or can't swim at all - you will be asked to wear a lifejacket at all times.

What can I expect?

Each hand crafted wooden boat (Gig) costs in excess of £20,000 with each requiring a set of 6 oars (approximately £500 each) so you can see why are boats and equipment are so special to us and we need to look after our most valuable assets.  During your first session you will learn the rules of handling the boats and equipment safely and carefully, without damage to you or to gear.  You will also learn about rowing "etiquette", as all sports have, so you understand why members may ask you to do certain things if you forget.  Don't worry, it takes a while to remember everything and we've all been in the same boat (if you'll excuse the pun). Once you are on the water, you'll be in safe hands with one of our qualified coxons and usually another more experienced club member sits in with new rowers on their first outing.
