Our Summer Learn to Row Courses are exciting and different! 

We offer full Learn to Row Programmes, as well as Improver Courses for those who may well have completed a Learn to Row Programme at TWBS or elsewhere.  The courses are tailored, and the aim is to have a lot of fun on the water while learning some key skills that you will be able to take into either Year 9 rowing at The Windsor Boys' School, Year 9 rowing at Windsor Girls School (which we will sign post you too), or indeed another rowing centre.
