Senior Men's Squad
Who we are
The Tyne Amateur Rowing Club’s Senior Men’s Squad currently comprises circa 30 members who range in age and experience. The squad is for rowers and scullers who want to train and race competitively at both local and national level.
All athletes are coached both in crews and individually to enable rapid progression of both fitness and technique. The squad is open to all male rowers with experience of sweep rowing and/or sculling who wish to race at a competitive senior level.
During the 22/23 Season the squad saw several wins both at Head Races and Regattas throughout all levels of the squad. This culminated in 12 athletes qualifying for Henley Royal Regatta with both the Wyfold 4- (winning two races) and Thames 8+ (winning one race) progressing through to the Thursday of the competition.
Training
The training schedule is designed to enable the squad to compete at the highest levels possible whilst maintaining a balance of work, education and family commitments. The training program has 6 'core' training session (Monday evening, Wednesday evening and double sessions on Saturday and Sunday). Optional training is available on most weekday mornings or Tuesday & Thursday evenings.
