Rowing Club
SQUADS
UPRC offers the opportunity of rowing to anyone of any experience; from experienced atletes to people who have never been in a boat before. As a result we have a variety of different squads within the club which are related to the general skill, experience fitness and commitment, these range from novice squad - for beginners, up to the senior men and women's squads for the more veteran rowers.
