During the month of Janaury we are offering a discounted rate of £20 per hour for our 1 to 1 rowing sessions. If you would like to book one of these lessons please speak to staff at the office.
Recreational Rowing Membership
If you are interested in heading out on the river more regularly then you may like to buy our recreational membership. For £300 a year you will be able to take out a boat at the available times and row as much as you like. These sessions are unsupervised on the water so are currently only open to members that have completed our learn to row course and have read and understand the rules of the river. Please speak to staff at the office for more information.
Explore rowing boats have arrived!
Barn Elms Boathouse is one of the most recent clubs to become part of the Explore Rowing programme from British Rowing.
Flexible, fun and more varied rowing programmes for adult rowers is the vision behind 'Explore Rowing'. This new initiative is part of Rowings strategic plan to enable rowing clubs to attract more rowers and help them with the support and resources they need to keep both new and existing rowers in the sport.
The Boathouse is one of 50 rowing clubs that will be given £25,000 packages to purchase new and specially designed boats. These are more stable than the Olympic class racing boats and are perfect for beginners and experienced rowers alike.
Barn Elms and British Rowing will teach new learn-to-row schemes as well as a variety of new activities which will range from social rowing events to personal challenges, summer heads to tours.
