At Henley Rowing Club we really do try to provide rowing for everybody have structured our squad system to deliver this. Choose one which you think fits in best for you depending on your age, experience, ability to train and desire to compete.
We are always looking for experienced Senior Men and Senior Women to race for Henley and grow with the club to match our ambitions for winning. Our highly competitive Junior squads (boys and girls 13 -18 years) lead the way and our regatta reports speak for themselves. In 2017 the juniors won 8 golds, 5 silvers and a bronze medal at the National Schools Regatta. We were Victor Ludorum winners at British National Championships July 2017 for the second year running. The juniors continue to gain honours at international level with J16 boys being selected to represent GB in the GB France match, two junior girls representing GB at the Coupe de la Jeunesse and two junior girls competing at the Junior World Championships 2017.
The Masters squads of men and women row competitively winning at British Masters and Henley Masters. In recent years a more extensive and thriving masters squad are growing in competition experience as demonstrated by our improved 2016-17 season results. The masters also enjoy the river on a recreational basis and integrate new members from the Learn to Row courses so that they can gain experience and confidence with the aim of competing if they wish.

Senior Men
In recent years the Men’s squad has been one of the most successful club squads in the country with wins at all the major regattas including Henley Royal Regatta. The squad trains on the river every weekend, Saturday and Sunday training sessions starting at 8am, and on weekday evenings in the spring and summer. During the winter, weekday training on ergos and using weights takes place in the Club’s purpose built and well-equipped training room and generally starts from 6:30pm, although individuals can arrange training around work. The Club enters most of the major head races that take place between October and April, and can be seen competing at the main regattas throughout the country. See our squad page for further information.
Senior Women
The Women’s squad has had an influx of new members and the squad has a good mix of novices and experienced oarswomen now training together which shows promise for the coming season. The training times for the women are the same as the men, 8am Saturday and Sunday mornings and Monday to Thursday evenings during the week. See our squad
Junior Men
The Club has always had a number of Junior Men but this section has really taken off in the last two years, and now forms a significant part of our activities and recent regatta wins.The success of the boys can be seen by the medals the boys have won at both international regattas and the top national regattas over recent years including the Fawley Cup at Henley Royal Regatta in 2003 and 2007. Training sessions are 7:30am to 12:30 Saturday and Sundays and three or four weekly sessions Monday to Thursdays, with the recommended number of sessions for each age group being J14s two, J15s three, others four.

All age groups and abilities are catered for from J13 and upwards. Training sessions for the girls are 7:30am to 12:30 Saturday and Sundays and three or four sessions Monday to Thursdays, with the recommended number of sessions for each age group being J14s two, J15s three, others four.

Masters Rowing and Sculling
We have a mix of young and veteran recreational rowers who organise their own training sessions and outings . We are a growing competitive Masters Squad.
The club has two touring boats which are used for the Learn to Row course and are available for members subject to booking.
New to Rowing?
If you are a Junior aged 11 and over you need to take a look at our Learn to Row page first. We run a series of rowing camps and training courses designed to get you started on the water and familiar with the sport. Each season a new group of J13s starts up to develop competency and learn about being part of a bigger squad. The J13s start to compete at some Head races and regattas in the summer season as a step towards being part of the Junior squad from J14.
