Cambridge: Rowing Experience aimed at complete beginners

This is the ultimate Cambridge experience! Imagine punting but on steroids! An opportunity to row with 7 other complete beginners down the River Cam right infront of all the college & town boatclubs
Whether you’re a resident or just visiting for work or pleasure, we are delighted to offer a rare and exciting opportunity for you to experience Cambridge’s most iconic sport - rowing!

We run half-day experiences throughout the year, using high quality facilities and equipment. You’ll get the chance to row in a coxed eight boat, just like the crews in the world-famous Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race.

We start the experience with an introduction at City of Cambridge Rowing club. This is followed by a half an hour session on the clubs rowing machines (ergs), working on timing and technique. We then put the technique into practice by taking an 'eight' boat out and affixing this to the side of the river where participants are then able to perform the rowing stroke on the water.
Once we feel confident that you are able to follow instructions carefully, we will head back to the boathouse to fetch all the remaining blades. Quick picture moment and then its straight onto the river where you get a full hour of rowing on the River Cam!
