Women’s Senior Squad
The Women’s Squad
The City of Oxford Women’s Squad is open to experienced rowers looking to compete at a high domestic club level. We offer a mixture of both sweep and sculling and are supported by an experienced coaching team.Throughout the year the squad races at a range of events, including the key dates of WeHoRR, Henley Women’s Regatta, and Henley Royal Regatta. We welcome athletes who are looking to push themselves on a challenging training programme, aim high, and ultimately enjoy the sport and being part of a close-knit team.
The squad has previously enjoyed successes including regional and national-scale wins, ranging from Monmouth Regatta and Nottingham City Regatta to Quintin Head and HWR. We are able to cater to both students and professionals, with a flexible time schedule and the bulk of training taking place during evenings and weekends.
About the Squad
The City of Oxford Rowing Club is stronger than ever with four women squads in regular training and competing at national events. In recent years we have won medals at Women’s Henley, Ghent International Regatta and the National Championships of Great Britain. Our squads have also won a number of pots across the region, including their success at the City of Oxford Royal Regatta, an event hosted annually by the City of Oxford Rowing Club.
In 2011 we had three crews qualify for Henley Women’s Regatta – with two of reaching the final at the National Championships of Great Britain. Both crews won gold and were selected to row for England at the Home Countries International Regatta. We usually have between 4 and 6 boats entered in the Women’s Head of the River Race.
The Senior Squad itself is composed of those athletes who can commit to the demanding training programme from September until Henley Royal Regatta – we train hard, and play hard!
