Rowing in Lent term becomes more intensive and competitive as crews prepare for the Lent bumps. Senior crews in Lent term typically have four or five outings and one or two circuit training sessions per week. For lower crews, it's up to crew members to decide how much time they want to commit, but two or three outings and perhaps one circuit training session per week would be typical. May term is the highlight of the rowing year, and senior crews typically have five or six outings and two circuit training sessions per week. For lower crews, again it's up to crew members to decide how much time they want to commit, but three outings and one circuit training session per week would be typical.
Senior crews row in the early evening, and lower boats row in the morning or afternoon.
Rowing only takes place in term time, so basically the rowing year is made up of three intensive eight-week periods. If you have any more questions, then get in touch with one of the boat club captains. Their e-mail addresses are on the the contacts page.
