Broxbourne Rowing Club

Recreational rowing still requires stamina and aerobic fitness but is less demanding than competitive rowing and is more about the enjoyment of being on the river than entering races. At BRC we are building our recreational rowing squad and have a core group of people who meet up to row together. This group participates in touring events and row for pleasure rather than speed!


We are very lucky to have a new fleet of stable boats dedicated to recreational rowing (one four, one double and 2 single sculls) and also a traditional ‘jollyboat’ as a result of a Sport England Sportsmatch and a donation from Frontiers Developments. A team of Broxbourne rowers used the jollyboat to complete the Great River Race in 2009 (http://www.greatriverrace.co.uk/ a 21 mile race down the Thames in traditional rowing boats). Recreational Rowing at Broxbourne is one of our biggest growth areas so we encourage you to come along and join us!
