So whether you’re a seasoned veteran or have never sat in a boat before, we’d love to have you. Our club welcomes complete beginners, experienced rowers and anyone in between !

Not rowed before? No problem! Our beginner programme will teach you everything you need to know, from your first strokes on the erg to getting out on the water, and build up your fitness on the way!

Already know what you’re doing? Come and race, train and compete with our senior squads.

GUBC is about so much more than rowing. From training and racing to socials, trips and camps, there are plenty of ways to get involved and meet so many amazing people and have fun along the way ❤️

We welcome students from across the University of Glasgow, including returning students, Glasgow School of Art and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

You don’t need to be super fit. You don’t need to have rowed before. And you definitely don’t need to know anyone already.

A huge congratulations to all of these athletes for their immense hard work and grit to achieve home country representation once more.

After a successful qualifying result and progressing into side by side racing, the faced Colgate university. In brilliant fashion, we saw the girls WIN by 2/3 of a length, excited to race again on the final day of Henley women’s. The Sunday saw them face Nottingham University A, where they fought hard and didn’t give up without a good fight.

“We had a really brilliant time. The girls really brought together what we’ve been working on all season and it was great to see them really enjoy the racing and enjoy pushing each other on to get the best out of the experience. A great trip to finish the season.”
