Who are we?
Universitetsroning or University Rowing, is a part of the Danish Rowing club in Sønderborg. It is located beautifully by the water at the address: Verdens Ende 2, a little north of Sønderborg, with a 10-minute bike ride to university. We are mostly students but also include and embrace members younger and older. During summer we row outside in different types of boats, depending in part on technical proficiency. During winter we do training in the club on rowing machines, strength training with basic weights, and have a weekly swimming session, included in our membership. Most of our members have no experience in rowing before joining us, but everything can be taught. Outside of our normal training times, every member is welcome at any time to train, together or alone. Rowing can be tough exercise that is sure to give you good conditioning, and strong legs – if you are doing it right.
Outside of training we attend pub quizzes, have communal dining in the club, and use the club's facilities such as its calm and large living room for studying together. Competitive members also have the option of joining competitions around Denmark, on machines or on the water.
At a yearly cost of 1008 DKK for a student, it is a very student friendly means of exercise that also offers a social network, experiences outside and is close to uni. You are of course entitled to a few free sessions before deciding whether to join or not.
From April to October 2026 University Rowing Sønderborg has training at the following times.
- Monday 17:00-18:30
- Thursday 17:30 – 19:00
- Friday 17:00 – 18:30
During winter, training is usually a little later in the evening and conducted inside. As a supplement to winter training we also have a weekly two-hour-slot at the Humlehøj swimming pool, included in the membership.
