Boat

We have been producing top-flight rowers for the last 150 years. Medalling at the Scottish Universities Championships, Scottish Championships, the highly contested British Universities Championships and National Championships of Great Britain, Glasgow crews have gone on to represent Scotland at the Homes International Regatta, as well as Great Britain at the European Universities Championship 2005 and the Commonwealth Games 2006.

Taking on complete beginners, is an integral part of the club’s philosophy; over half the current senior oarsmen and women never rowed before coming to university.

We have our own boathouse, housing gym and ergometers as well as boats and access to Olympic standard indoor and outdoor facilities (Strathclyde Park). Regularly travelling throughout Britain to compete, the racing highlights of the year include the Head of the River Race in London, and Henley Royal Regatta. Nonetheless, we equally put great emphasis on the social side of rowing overall, and run three major social events each year.

The Boat Club comprises a very friendly and sociable bunch of highly committed and hardworking friends. If you’re up for the banter, or at all interested, then get in touch, or look at our website: www.gla.ac.uk/clubs/boat

Training Times:

Training on the river primarily takes place at weekends between 8am and 2pm, exact time dependent on group (usually starting around midday for new-starts) – though access to the boathouse is available at all times. During the week sessions include weight and ergometer sessions, though times, duration and frequency will vary from crew to crew.
