Have You Considered Coxing?
We’re always keen to welcome new coxes — from those just starting out and keen to learn, to experienced coxes looking for a new club or a fresh challenge. With crews training and competing at a variety of levels, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved – from steering stable recreational outings to coxing racing crews at local and national events. Full training and support are provided for beginners, and you’ll be a valued member of the crew from day one.
Coxing membership is just £26 per year. If you’re interested in coxing at Pengwern or would like to come down and see what it’s all about, please get in touch – we’d love to hear from you.
Do You Have Coaching Experience?
If you have coaching experience and are looking to get involved with a friendly and inclusive club, we’d love to hear from you. Pengwern supports rowers of all ages and abilities, and we’re always keen to welcome new coaches who want to help others develop and enjoy the sport. Whether you’re qualified or just starting your coaching journey, there are plenty of ways to get involved.
Coaching membership is just £26 per year. Do contact our Membership Secretary if you’d like to find out more.
