About Us

For over 55 years, University of Warwick Boat Club has been the home of rowing for students at Warwick University. We support over 120 athletes split across our men and women programmes, with many of our members learning to row here. We compete nationally incuding Henley Royal Regatta, Henley Women’s Regatta, BUCS, Head of the River and more.
