Significant progress for rowers at Ely training camp

Over the second week of half term, the Senior Boys and Girls travelled to Ely for a rowing training camp.

The squads were hosted by Kings School Ely which proved an ideal location for accommodation close to the Great Ouse.

The crews were training on the stretch of water that hosted the Boat Race in 2021 and provided endless miles of straight river with little stream. The rowers were predominantly out in small boats with an eye on the upcoming GB Trials and the Fours Head of the River.

There was a great atmosphere created by all those attending which was particularly noticeable during the two evening Yoga sessions where the combination of stretching and laughter provided the best remedy for tired bodies. It was great to see the pupils making significant progress through the week and putting that into practice in a time trial at the end of the camp.
