Welcome to the Men's Squad

The Men's Squad incorporates a wide range of experienced members from Senior Four to Elite level in both rowing and sculling. If you are a novice rower and have not yet won a race, then perhaps our development mens squad would be more suitable for you.

What to expect:

Throughout the winter the squad focuses on land training Monday-Thursday evenings, while water work takes up the weekend mornings. The club currently has use of 17 well maintained Concept II ergos, and in addition has a new Olympic standard weight training facility at a nearby local school (all included in the membership fee).

Waterwork is possible all year round as the club is situated just one mile from Dorney Lake. This fabulous 2000 metre, eight lane facility enables the club to continue rowing even if the River Thames is in flood.

In Spring/Summer the emphasis moves on to more water time, as the light in the evenings improves and the rate of competition increases from the Head of the River Race in March through to Henley Royal Regatta in July. Following this main event, the more experienced members will pursue training towards the National Championships in late July, while the others look forward to the more relaxed pace of smaller length regattas such as Llandaff and our own at Maidenhead.

The squad is like any other at Maidenhead and prides itself with its friendly and welcoming nature. The squad enjoys a good social life attending many events in and outside the club as well as just keeping the bar and weekend breakfast profits topped up along the way…...
