Molesey Boat Club has announced that it will be hosting two beginner rowing camps this spring.

The camps, which are for 13- to 15-year-olds, will take place from April 2 to 6 and from April 9 to 13.

Those who take part will spend the majority of their time on the water in mixed octuples, quads and singles.

They will also spend sessions on the rowing machines, spending time perfecting each stage of their stroke.

In addition, they will take part in training circuits, an all over body workout focusing on muscles that are essential for a strong rowing stroke.

On both Fridays, the club will run a regatta over 200 meters.

Participants will only be able to begin rowing once they have completed a capsize drill and a 50-metre swimming test.

Each camp costs £280 per person. To receive a registration form, send an email to junior.admin@moleseyboatclub.org stating the junior’s name and date of birth.
