Try Rowing Morning – For High School Students

Curious about rowing but not sure if it’s for you? This is your chance to find out.

Our Try Rowing Morning is a fun, supportive introduction designed especially for high school students who want to experience what rowing is really like — on the water, in a real boat, with real coaches guiding you every step of the way.

You don’t need to be super fit.
You don’t need any experience.
You just need to be willing to have a go.

You’ll learn the basics of how rowing works, how to handle a boat safely, and then head out onto the river in a stable crew boat with a coach alongside you. By the end of the session, you’ll have rowed, laughed, and discovered whether this unique sport is something you’d like to pursue further.

Rowing is a sport for all body types and personalities. It builds strength, fitness, teamwork, confidence and resilience — and many students are surprised by how much they enjoy it once they try.

What to expect:

  • A warm welcome and safety briefing

  • Basic instruction on rowing technique

  • Time on the water in a crew boat with a coach

  • A chance to ask questions and learn about ongoing programs

  • A relaxed, encouraging environment where everyone is a beginner

This is not a trial. It’s not a test. It’s simply an opportunity to experience rowing in a friendly, low-pressure way, and enjoy a yummy brunch afterwards.

Come along, give it a go, and see if rowing might be your sport.
