City
of Sheffield Rowing Club is an open club for all ages and abilities. We
cater for recreational and competitive rowers; from beginners to
experts.
We
have active junior, senior and veteran squads, both male and female,
who can always accommodate new members.
The
club rows at Damflask Reservoir on weekend mornings all year, and on
Thursday evenings during summer time. Once the clocks change, on
Thursday evenings we have indoor circuit training.
Damflask
Reservoir is a few miles outside of the city centre in the Peak
District National Park. This setting provides 1.85Km useable stretch of
water when the dam is at its fullest, dropping down to 1Km in the late
summer months.
CSRC
participate in many events across the country, ranging from local
Yorkshire heads and regattas to the world renowned Henley Royal. All
the clubs enjoy a varied social scene whilst taking rowing, training
and competing all very seriously.
