Rowing at the University of Bath

Bath University Boat Club welcomes all students to the club. Whether you have never been in a boat before or have a high level of experience, there is a place for you at CrewBath.

Cost of Rowing

Rowing is an expensive sport and therefore we provide cost information upfront for what is required to be paid.

As a novice, you are expected to pay SU memberships (£30) as well as the rowing membership (£10) and entry fees for races if you compete at BUCS competitions, alongside other potential competitions you may do. You may also need to pay for accommodation and transport on top, as some competitions require overnight stays.

As a senior, you will be expected to pay the SU membership, rowing membership, competition fees and the Senior fee (£125) which covers the cost of coaching and insurance. Senior Coxes pay a reduced fee of £62.50.

We endeavour to costs as low as we can as we understand that it can be challenging to balance the cost of our sport alongside being a student.
