Learn to Row
Itchen Imperial Rowing Club is one of the most successful rowing clubs on the South Coast, and we’re pleased to offer Learn-to-Row sessions for adults and juniors from 12yrs. We have a friendly group of qualified and experienced coaches looking forward to meeting you and getting you afloat.
Rowing is a great all-year-round, non-impact sport that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. In Southampton, on the River Itchen, we are uniquely placed to be able to offer rowing in a wide range of boats including Sculling (2-oars per person) and Sweeping (1-oar per person) in both River Boats and Coastal Boats. If you like the fitness side of rowing, but not the rowing part then perhaps Coxswaining is up your street – we’re always happy to bring on new coxswains – apply below.

8 Sessions for £25 - these will often be a mixture of on-water and on-land training sessions.
Suitable for beginners and novices
What to expect:
Clubhouse orientation
Safety ashore and safety afloat
On-water sessions in a range of boats including Singles, Doubles, Fours and Eights.
