Learn To Row Course started in February!
Thank you for your interest in learning to row with Worthing Rowing Club. Our next courses are expected to start in February 2023. If you have never rowed before and would like to join us for one of these courses, please contact the Learn To Row Coordinator on l2r.worthingrc@gmail.com to register your interest.
The aim of the Learn To Row course is to introduce you to correct rowing technique and use of the rowing machines, an introduction to the boats and their maintenance, some core and flexibility workouts and rowing together in a 4-person boat on the sea or river. We aim to prioritise water sessions as getting out in a boat is a great way to learn and is a lot of fun!
*This course is designed for adults (18+). For more information about our junior squads please contact junior.worthingrc@gmail.com

Women's Head of River Race
We are very excited that our Women's crew is planning to race in the Women's Eights Head of the River Race on 4th March 2023.
The Women's Eights Head of the River Race (WEHoRR) is a processional rowing race held annually on the Tideway of the River Thames in London on the 41⁄4-mile (6.8 km) Championship Course from Mortlake to Putney.
It has a long history - the first Women's Eights race took place in 1927 between Ace and Weybridge LARC which included the legendary Amy Gentry. This was a side by side race as only two crews had entered, Weybridge winning in a borrowed boat from Thames RC.
WEHoRR has now become the largest women’s rowing race in the world with around 2,880 women racing and up to 320 crews taking part. It is the only race in the UK where novices can compete in the same race as Olympic champions and as such attracts a wide range of rowers from clubs and universities.
It is the largest and most iconic women’s distance rowing race in the world, and we are very excited to be taking part in March.

We would also like to thank our lovely sponsors for their ongoing and vital support!
J16s celebrate success at the National Schools' Regatta!
Worthing Rowing Club are delighted that three members of their J16s crew had great success at the National Schools Regatta at Dorney Lake on Bank Holiday Monday, 31st May 2021.
Aoife and Daisy and Flo took part in the pairs and single sculls events at Dorney Lake, the 2012 Olympic rowing venue. Daisy and Flo were just pipped at the post in their pairs sculls, but Aoife WON her final in the single sculls.
We are so proud of all of our J16s - well done!!
