Why you should row
Adult learn to row courses
The Isle of Ely Rowing Club is the ideal place to learn to row with a beautiful stretch of uninterrupted water. You will also be guaranteed a warm and friendly welcome. During the year we typically run learn to row courses in the Spring and Summer. To be notified of the next available courses, register your interest using the link below.
Our courses focus on sculling (2 blades) and the club owns a number of stable boats specifically designed for beginners. When you complete the course and join the club there will be opportunities to try sweep rowing (one blade each).
