Are you interested in racing with TTRC?
Today, the club continues to enjoy annual successes at various races and regattas, including the Head of The Charles, Veterans Henley, the British Rowing Masters Championships, the Vesta Vets 8s Head and the Veterans Fours Head.
And in May 2022 after a couple of years with Covid we entered our first novice crew who came 2nd out of 11 boats at the Kingston Regatta.
This ongoing success and drive is a testimony to the values that have been at the heart of the club since its inception. From ex-Squad rowers to veterans who’ve never ceased pushing their limits – Masters rowing at TTRC is ideal for rowers still wanting to train regularly and aiming to keep healthy, happy and going further and faster.

Worried you’re not fit enough?
Don’t. Rowing will also get you fit – fast.
We have a scientifically designed training programme that maximises return on your time. You can use it at times that suit you (many use their local gyms and only appear at the club at the weekend). It’s still one of the most exhilarating ways to keep fit (in both body and mind).
a few benefits of rowing
Open water rowing is an ALL-BODY SPORT, toning your arms, legs, chest, back, and abs. Rowing is also recognized as a COMPLETE CARDIOVASCULAR WORKOUT which is highly aerobic and burns calories quickly. What most people don't realize is that rowing IMPROVES JOINT HEALTH through a wide range of motion. In addition, open water rowing RELIEVES STRESS and allows you the opportunity to remove yourself from the world around you, to connect to the calm and quiet of the water, and to meditate through the rhythmic, repetitive motion of your stroke.
Low Impact + High Results
Both competitive and recreational rowing are unique in comparison to most sports because they exercise all of your major muscle groups. Everything from your legs, back, and arms are engaged while rowing. In addition, rowing is a low-impact sport. When executed properly, the rowing stroke is a fairly safe motion, providing little room for the serious injury often found in contact and high-impact sports.
Help Your Heart
Cardiovascular training involves any activity that requires the use of the large muscle groups of the body in a regular and uninterrupted manner. Rowing is one of the few non-weight bearing sports that exercises all the major muscle groups. In addition, the consistent and all-encompassing activity associated with rowing, combined with being outdoors on the water, has an unparalleled impact on reducing stress.
Stabilize Your Body
Rowing in a boat requires your stabilizer and neutralizer muscles to fire up. Those same muscles might help you avoid a fall or help keep you from hurting your back when lifting a child or a heavy box awkwardly. Your body core, or trunk, becomes stronger and better prepared
