Based on the River Witham in the thriving town of Boston,
Lincolnshire, Boston Rowing Club caters for the aspirations of the whole
community. With the aim of getting more people into the enjoyable sport
of rowing.
The club welcomes all rowers and coxes whether they consider themselves
as purely recreational rowers to the highly competitive. If you just want
to have a go the club runs Learn to Row courses for Adults and Juniors
and it’s not just on the water. We have indoor rowing machines and gym
equipment as well.
Boston’s excellent stretch of water and land based facilities mean we are
a sought after venue for rowing events. Boston Rowing Marathon, a
31 mile race from Lincoln to Boston, takes place on the 3rd Sunday in
September each year, and the Boston Head of the river race kicks the
season off in January. Since 1999 the club has been the venue of the GB
Squads winter time trials and also host the British Universities &
College Sports Small Boats Head.
We have a 6 week Learn to Row course, in which you will learn and experience the different styles of rowing and how one may be required to adapt depending on the boat they are in. We aim to build confidence and the skills nessesary for you to become a more competant rower.
Our sessions are currently split into 3 different groups, after completing the Learn to Row course you will then progress into the first group, which is known as group 1. From here you will continue to develop your skills learnt from the L2R course, in addition you will start to gather a wider understanding of the sport.
Should you be intested in the world of racing, you will be provided with the opurtunity to move into our more racing orientated group, know as group 3. Time spent in this group is primarily dedicated to developing yourself as a competitve athelete and helping you achieve your goals.
Here's all of the latest and greatest regarding Boston Rowing Club.

Sunday 17th September saw our annual Marathon from Lincoln to Boston.
It was notable for the participation of James Cracknell in time of 3 hours 33.
Huw Champion completed his 50th Marathon in 4 hours 31. The weather and river conditions
were very kind to us and we had an army of volunteers helping out. The 96 boats that
took part had crew members that ranged from their teens to their 80's.
The results can be found here.
One of our members, James Hedges has posted his photos of the day

support is vital for the safe running of our events.

A fantastic day of fun at Boston Rowing Club saw
the core of our junior squad participate in demonstrating some
advanced skills out on the water in front of the Clubhouse. Joined by
our Water Safety Officer Nigel and Boatman/Coach Steve, the squad
displayed their incredible talent and composure with skills such as
Standing up rowing, Standing 360°s, and even "The Gondola!". Even the
driving rain didn't dampen their spirits, with everyone smiling and
laughing throughout! A huge thankyou to all involved! Phil for
planning and coaching the session, our chairman Rob who encouraged
everyone to get involved, and particularly the juniors who all shared
duties filming, supporting and laughing at each other.
A very memorable day for all the best reasons!
