Our Learn To Row program is designed to give new rowers an introduction to the sport before they join.

If you are interested in joining the rowing club or learning more, please email secretary@tgsrowing.org.nz at any time.

The Learn to Row program is open to complete beginners and those that have attended the holiday programme in year 8 to year 12. Students need to be at Takapuna Grammar School or planning to attend the school.

Our learn to row course for the 2025/26 season has ended but we frequently offer Learn to Row Holiday Programmes throughout the year; keep an eye out on our socials to learn more! More information regarding the yearly Learn to Row Course for the 2026/27 season will be announced closer to the time.

Rowing combines fitness and fun, offering physical challenge and team camaraderie. Whether casual or competitive, it brings satisfaction on the water. Our head coach, Sam, has strong experience coaching coxswains, who learn boat dynamics, coaching skills, and leadership. Takapuna Grammar School Rowing Club offers lifelong friendships, intense training, nationwide travel, and the chance to represent the school. Many hesitate to try rowing due to misconceptions about body type or fitness, but these should not stop you from joining.
