A Week at Trent Rowing Club, Burton upon Trent

At Trent Rowing Club in Burton upon Trent, each week brings a vibrant blend of training, teamwork, and community spirit as rowers of all ages come together to pursue their passion for rowing.

The week typically kicks off with focused water-based training sessions. These sessions combine skill development with fun, encouraging young rowers to hone their technique while building confidence on the river.

Midweek, the focus shifts to land-based training provision. Seniors, masters and junior members gather in the clubhouse for strength and conditioning workouts, utilising rowing machines (ergs), dynos, and weight equipment to build fitness. These sessions are supported by coaches who tailor programs to suit individual abilities, ensuring every member progresses safely and effectively.

Come the weekend, the entire club comes alive with on-water training. Junior crews launch early, focusing on endurance and race preparation, while masters and seniors alternate between drills and team-building exercises. The shared dedication is palpable as members push themselves to improve, all while fostering a welcoming and supportive environment.

Off the water, social events and volunteer opportunities keep the community connected. Whether it’s assisting at regattas, helping maintain equipment, or simply enjoying a post-row coffee together, members form strong bonds that extend beyond the river.

Trent Rowing Club’s weekly routine is more than just training—it’s about building friendships, promoting wellbeing, and celebrating the joy of rowing in a friendly, inclusive setting.

For those interested in joining or learning more, the club welcomes visitors and new members of all levels throughout the year.
