Put every river and coastal session in order.
Publish the week, collect replies, and reach the slip with crews in mind. Row HQ replaces the WhatsApp chase and the separate turnout sheet.
How does rowing training session software work for an Irish club?
Rowing training session software publishes recurring and one-off river, coastal and winter erg sessions in one calendar. Members give one-tap responses as rowers, volunteers or coaches. Automatic reminders and cancellation notices keep each outing current, while session plans, iCal subscriptions, final attendance and crew planning remain joined throughout the regatta season.
The full session workflow is part of every plan. Check Irish pricing for your club.
A training week in Row HQ
Keep the standing timetable, each weather call and the final crew record together from winter training to regatta season.
Build templates
Save the club timetable
Create recurring templates for river outings, coastal training and winter erg nights. Add a one-off time trial or safety briefing without changing the ordinary week.
A changed outing does not erase the timetable that follows it.
Publish the week
Make the next outing unambiguous
Training and club events sit together in the calendar through the regatta season. Members who prefer another diary can subscribe through iCal.
River and coastal crews both see the current time, place and session type.
Members respond
Collect the crew and the support around it
Each session type can ask who is rowing, coaching or volunteering. Members answer with one tap, and automatic reminders bring missing replies into the list.
The captain can organise boats with names, not guesses.
Run the session
Carry the work to the slip
Add the session plan, connect available rowers to crew planning, and change a single outing if conditions turn. Record actual attendance at the water.
The planned pieces and the final turnout remain attached to the outing.
Keep the outing out of the message scramble
One live record helps a club deal with changing water, busy members and several squads without duplicating the work.
Without Row HQ
- A WhatsApp answer sitting in the wrong conversation
- A turnout spreadsheet known only to the captain
- River or coastal changes passed from phone to phone
- Volunteers counted away from the rowing list
- Winter attendance forgotten before regatta selection
With Row HQ
- One-tap responses for rowers, coaches and volunteers
- Automatic reminders before the outing
- Cancellation notifications when conditions change
- A season record in the admin dashboard
- One programme for water, coastal and erg training

Training session questions from Irish clubs
How Row HQ handles winter ergs, changing water and the run into regatta season.
Yes. Clubs can create separate recurring types for river outings, coastal sessions, winter ergs or circuits. One-off dates sit beside the normal timetable. Members see their relevant sessions in one calendar, answer on their phones, and leave the final attendance record with the outing.
It can. Attendance options follow the session type, so a club can collect rower RSVPs, coaches or volunteer help in the same workflow. Each response takes one tap. Captains then have the full group in view before they organise crews, safety cover or support on shore.
The club edits or cancels that date without changing the recurring template behind it. This works for a river level, tide, wind warning or changed venue. A special trial or regatta preparation session can also be added once, leaving the rest of the weekly programme untouched.
Automatic reminders go to people who still need to respond. When the club cancels a session, the attached members receive a notification and the shared calendar updates. Anyone using the iCal subscription sees the same current programme in their own diary rather than relying on an older message.
Yes. Confirmed rowers move into crew planning, where coaches can arrange boats and seats. The session record carries the warm-up, pieces, technical work and safety notes. Coaches mark actual attendance at the water, giving the club a dependable training history before regatta crews are chosen.
