DEVELOPMENT

Development Squad

​​Our development squad takes graduates from our Learn2Row programme and prepares them for entry into our senior and masters squads over the course of a year.  They enjoy excellent facilities at TwRC and first class support from a dedicated and experienced coaching team. We want our development rowers to fall in love with the sport whilst building technique and fitness.

The training is challenging but not daunting, with the number of sessions per week varying during the year, typically 4 times a week. Practically every session is coached and our novices experience every boat type from singles through to eights. TwRC novices can expect to compete in winter head races and summer regattas.  Selection for race crews is based on attendance, a mixture of performance on the water and on indoor rowing machines. 

On completion of their novice year, TwRC rowers can expect to look back on a fun and rewarding 12 months as a fully fledged 'rower', having mastered solid technique, greatly improved their fitness and hopefully have won their first races.
