Why rowing?

Rowing is hugely rewarding and is one of the best team-building sports. Many people who start out at the Inter-Company Row are bitten by the bug and continue rowing for years.

The same technique is used from novice to international level. So take part in the Aberdeen Inter-Company Row and you will be learning the same basic skills and techniques which you have seen performed at the highest level by the likes of Pinsent and Redgrave or perhaps when tuning into the Oxford Cambridge Boat Race.

Far from being the end of your rowing experience, the Inter-Company Regatta could be just the start! All competitors have temporary rowing membership of Aberdeen Boat Club and can continue rowing until October, where there are two further opportunities to participate in further races – the Novice Nights Sprint Regatta on Saturday the 27th of August and the Aberdeen Invitation Sprint Regatta on the 8th of October.

Then there are novice nights for those who wish to continue and many Inter-Company rowers have gone on to compete in races all around Scotland including the Scottish Championships.

The Club is holding an information evening on Tuesday 5th of July to explain how you can continue or start rowing. Click here to find out more about Novice Nights.
