Rowing - WHSBC

Rowing is a popular sport at Wimbledon High School, with WHS Boat Club a key part of the school community and the community on the river! In the last five seasons, WHSBC has been taken to great heights, including the winning of silver and bronze medals at the National Schools' Regatta, participation in the Henley Royal Regatta qualifiers and numerous wins in more local events.

Girls have the opportunity of a taster in rowing during Year 7 and thereafter it is a club they can join - one requiring full commitment to a full and inspiring programme of fitness sessions and skills training on and off the water. The values of hard work, excellence, aspiration, respect and teamwork are all central to WHS Rowing, as part of a strong, supportive and inclusive culture. Students learn self-discipline, independence and time management. They grow in confidence and skill, while making friendships amongst crewmates and across year groups that will outlive their time at school.

Nothing beats the thrill of pulling away from a rival boat, working together to get that win after long months of training on cold winter evenings!
