Training

We have BR qualified coaches and assistants to help you get the best out of the sport, all of whom have been D.B.S. checked and are current in their safeguarding courses.

Our team of coaches at Newport are on hand to make sure all our members have access to good quality tuition whilst on the water.  Our coaching launches mean we can keep an eye on what is happening, and provide safety cover.

Our river.

Our home waters, on the river Medina, are some of the most sheltered and safest in the region, which means they are perfect for those just starting out in rowing and the gently shelving riverbank at the club makes boating quick, safe and simple. Safety is a priority and we have various systems in place, exclusive to our stretch of the river, aimed at making your outing as enjoyable as possible.

Circuits, indoor and winter training.

Newport has a small but well equipped gym area to the rear of our boathouse, which includes a number of Concept 2 rowing machines, slider dynamic rowing machines, a leg press, smith machine, pull-up bars, various free weights and kettle bells. The different squads make full use of this equipment throughout the year, but indoor training continues during the winter months when daylight restricts opportunities on the water.
