Introduction

Becoming an Explore Rowing accredited centre or club will provide your club with access to a number of benefits including access to the Explore Rowing Learn to Row Scheme. Accreditation is open to a number of different centres:

• British Rowing Affiliated Clubs (Open Clubs, Universities and Schools)
• British Rowing Affiliated Watersports Centres
• Sea Cadet Units & Centres
• Scout Association Groups and Centres

There is no accreditation fee but we do require you to sign up to a number of terms and conditions. These conditions are designed to allow us to maintain the standards of the programme throughout the delivery of the scheme. British Rowing reserves the right to make changes to these terms and conditions from time to time and these changes will be communicated in writing or via email to all accredited clubs.

To apply for accreditation please complete all the pages in this form electronically and return the form via email to or by post to Explore Rowing Team, British Rowing, 6 Lower Mall, London, W6 9DJ. If you have any questions about completing this application please contact your Regional Team Leader or the Explore Rowing Team.
