Sons of The Thames are a London based rowing club with its home on the Tideway. Located just upstream of Hammersmith Bridge, the club house overlooks the Championship course used for the University Boat Races and the major Head Races and regatta’s making it one of the Tideway's prime locations.
WE TRAIN AND RACE HARD, BUT HAVE A GREAT AMOUNT OF FUN OFF THE WATER TOO
With our new coaching team of Peter Haining MBE becoming our Director of Rowing/Head Coach, and rowing powerhouse Mihai his assistant - what better time to join our Senior Race squad (men and women). Setting a clear training programme across the season, the regular land based, and water sessions focus the squads on the natural peaks in the cycle of: Fours Head(s), Eights Head(s) and the club events at Henley Women’s Regatta and Henley Royal Regatta.
At Sons we recognise that rowing needs to exist alongside work and a social life, so our training is structured to enable your career and your rowing aspirations to co-exist. But we are strong believers of what you put into training; you will get out: Ergs and a weights plan are delivered each week, which can be completed in your own preferred location via zoom… and we train on the water every Saturday and Sunday morning (0800-1200), and on additional midweek evenings as we prepare for the key races.
We cater for rowers with a range of experience - from those looking to move up from development squads to those with international and HRR CVs. If you have rowed previously, whether at school, university or another club, and are keen to continue improving and winning - get in touch.
Race squad subs are £540pa, with an amazingly reduced rate for students and Under 23s at £270pa
Our 2024 summer learn to row has now come to an end, but for those who are still interested in getting to grips with the sport, fear not.
Led by a professional coach, supported by experienced club members, we we be running a novice-to-intermediate course starting during September, focused on land training during the week along side other crews in the club and then dedicated water session on Saturdays (1000-1230).
There is a course fee of £200, to be paid ahead of the first session.
If you have completed a Learn to Row elsewhere, or are just keen to pick things up after other introductions to the sport - then get in touch.
