Watch our video to find out how children can start rowing in Bristol
City of Bristol Rowing Club's junior squad welcomes new members from years 7 and 8 every year. The children train several times a week and compete regularly in local and national races throughout the year.
We want to widen participation in rowing by encouraging students from more of Bristol's schools to join our club. Studies have shown that rowing improves academic performance at schools, and helps students to develop teamwork skills, as well as boosting confidence, physical fitness and mental wellbeing.
We are also offering a bursary to two students from lower income backgrounds. This will cover the children in all aspects of their club membership and will support them throughout their time at the club.
