Coxing

Rowing is not just a sport focused on strength and endurance, but one that relies upon timing, technical precision and drive. This is where the coxswain plays a key role, navigating the boat along the correct course, offering comments on how to improve and ensuring the boat keeps its drive; capable coxing is just as important as proficient rowing in securing victory.

​Coxing is the perfect choice for someone who may feel they do not possess the attributes traditionally sought after in most sports – small stature is favoured over size and strength and the focus is on thinking rather than fitness. It may also be of interest to those who are enthusiastic and able to project their voice, as oftentimes it is the calls of the cox that send the winning boat out ahead.

​If coxing sounds like something you would be interested in, then feel free to contact our Captain of Coxes, Chris Jackson, or check out our coxing booklet.
