Masters Women’s Squad

About US

We are a friendly, outgoing group committed to improving our sculling in a sociable and supportive environment at both recreational and competitive levels.

In 2019 we enjoyed wins at every regatta we entered, including Henley Masters, World Masters, Molesey, Kingston, Staines and Weybridge.

During the 2019 Head season, we won two pennants in the Scullers Head and won three events at Weybridge Small Boats Head, as well as posting strong results at the Veteran Fours Head and Pairs Head.

In 2018, we won six golds at Henley, European and British Masters and three medals at the British Indoor Rowing Championships.

There is also a strong social side to the group, and Masters Women of any age are welcome. We meet twice a week on Wednesday and Friday mornings at 9 am for a coached outing, followed by coffee and cake.

From Easter to October, we also offer a coached outing at 7.30 am most weeks. In addition, there is a coached ergo session on Monday mornings and access to the gym at TSS, ergos and Wattbikes. We have held two overseas training camps in recent years as well as camps at Henley.

Our lead coach is Jack Carr, who has coached some of our group from beginners through to becoming Henley, European and World Masters champions.

Primarily we are out on the water in single sculls, but we also enjoy using doubles and quads and putting together an VIII for races like the Women’s Eights Head of the River Race and Vesta Veterans Head.

Over the last few years, crews have also taken part in the Head of the Charles, the Boston Marathon, Traversée de Paris, Beach Sprints and a fund-raising row for Parkinson’s UK.
