Our 2026 Learn2Row courses were all full and are now completed. Please email us at L2R@goringgapbc.org.uk and we will put your name on the waiting list for the 2027 courses. Let’s get you on the water!

If you are interested in learning to row then our beginner courses are a great place to start.
Over five sessions, we’ll teach you the fundamentals of rowing in a fun, safe and supportive environment. There are usually four water-based sessions at our rowing club on consecutive Saturdays from 1:00–4:30pm and one land-based session on a Wednesday evening from 7:00–9:00pm at the Radley College indoor rowing tank.
The dates for our 2027 courses are still tbc but they usually run in late April and June.
The course costs around £165 per participant, and is open to juniors (ages 13-17) and adults. There are 16 places on each course.
Once you have completed the course, if you’d like to continue rowing then you’re welcome to join the club.
If you are interested in joining a course, then please email Stuart at L2R@goringgapbc.org.uk.
We use our fleet of four touring boats, sponsored by Charles Stanley Wealth Management. These provide a stable and comfortable platform to put into practice the British Rowing stroke that we teach.
Subject to availability, we try to give participants on the course a session at the rowing tank, either in Oxford University’s Athletics Ground, or, as in the video below, in Radley College. The rowing tank means that the platform is literally rock solid, and makes it easy to perfect your technique.
