We are keen to welcome rowers who no longer have the time to row or compete at the highest levels. We offer a more flexible routine, very much tailored to your own situation. You may be someone who has just left the Senior Squad, or have taken a break from rowing but wish to get back on the water. Masters rowing at Curlew RC can be purely social, competitive, or a mixture.
Our Competitive Vets Squad are mainly ex-squad rowers who can no longer manage the amount of training required in high level competition, but who want to stay fit and race from time to time. The requirement to join the squad is that you have rowed at a reasonably high level either for Curlew or another rowing club.

Crews are organised on an ad hoc basis and our aim is to compete at Vets HoRR, Vets Henley and World Masters. Also, we will compete at local heads and regattas , we will also compete at events not frequented by Curlew RC previously. This is an opportunity to mix fitness, rowing and racing together.
We train on Sunday mornings getting on the water at 8am plus gyms sessions during the week and morning rowing organised on an ad hoc basis.
If you are interested in joining our squad contact send us your details with some background on your rowing experience to vets@curlewrowingclub.co.uk.
