Vesta has a proud tradition of being a cradle-to-grave club. We pride ourselves on taking absolute beginners and developing them into athletes who can compete at the highest level. Under the guidance of our experienced coaches you will hone your oarsmanship, build an elite physiology and have the chance to don the famed Crimson and Black of Vesta along world-famous courses such as our local Tideway, Henley-on-Thames and Dorney Rowing Lake. The Vesta Novice program has a proven track record of success, with continued wins in Beginner Categories at national events, alongside local and regional regattas.

Whether you learned to row with us via our annual summer Learn2Row program or elsewhere, if you are looking to build your foundational technique and fitness then our Novice Squad is the place for you.
