I am in year 12 and have been at WHS for five years, since year 7. I joined rowing officially in the summer term of year 8 so I guess I have been doing it for a long time now! I remember signing up to the club on SOCS not knowing what to expect at all. I am so glad that I made that one decision because of the friends I have made and the experiences I have been through with them.
As the coaches always tell us, rowing is one of the most demanding sports physically and mentally but also the most rewarding! As a boat club we have our H.E.A.R.T. values (hard work, excellence, aspiration, respect and teamwork) which really help us come together as a community. The coaching team is brilliant and so supportive while helping you to row the best that you can. All the early mornings and tiring moments are 100% worth it when you win the medals and see your hard work pay off – so I most definitely urge you to get involved with this incredible sport!
