The Medics’ boat club is by far one of the largest and most fun clubs in Imperial. We have over 100 members, most of whom knew nothing at all about rowing before joining up, and you certainly don't have to give up your life to training (unless you want to!). There are dedicated boy's and girl's novice captains whose sole purpose in life is to teach you to row and get you involved in the many social events. Alternatively, if you have more experience you can go straight into our senior squads. Either way, we will make your first year at Uni one which you will remember forever.
We race in nationwide ARA races, as well as in United Hospitals events which are arranged especially for the London medical schools. These include time trials, regattas and the highlight of the year - bumps, in which crews start line astern and everyone tries to hit the boat in front.
Off the water, the club has an unrivalled schedule of social events, including an annual foreign tour (no rowing involved!) and numerous dinners. Each year our freshers revitalise our club with their own character and enthusiasm in return becoming part of our many traditions and unique culture.
