Rowing on the Tideway

The Thames tideway is a great place to row but conditions can be challenging. For the safety of all members, the club's rules must be adhered to by those taking boats out on the water. The Port of London Authority (PLA) and Thames Regional Rowing Council (TRRC) also publish a wealth of extremely useful guidance for coxes and rowers who navigate the Tideway.
