With the 2026/27 season fast approaching, preparations are already underway at Swansea University Rowing Club. Pre-season training for our senior squads will begin in the coming weeks, as crews return to training and start building towards another exciting year of racing. Alongside our returning athletes, we are also looking forward to welcoming a new generation of rowers during Freshers’ Week and introducing them to everything the club has to offer.

Our novice programme will begin with two taster sessions in October. The Ergo Taster Session will take place on 1 October, giving students the chance to experience rowing training on the ergos, followed by our Water Taster Session on 3 October, where students can get their first experience of rowing on the water. No previous experience is required, making these sessions the perfect opportunity to try something new, meet the club and take the first strokes towards becoming a Swansea University rower.
