2025 USRowing Masters Conference (Virtual)

Rebecca Caroe is a masters rower and a rowing coach who co-founded Faster Masters Rowing - an education business supporting masters and coaches.

She learnt to row at Pembroke College, Cambridge, UK when accosted by a coxswain who said “You’re tall – you should try rowing“. And so she did. And has been enjoying the sport ever since.
Rebecca has coached athletes from age 10 to over 70 years old and enjoys the challenge of helping athletes understand how a boat moves and ways to make it go faster. She started the Rowperfect rowing blog in 2007 and wrote most of the articles until 2018. Her writing is now on the Faster Masters Rowing blog.
She was honoured to be invited by the BBC to commentate at the London Olympics 2012 as an in-studio expert.
She rows at North Shore Rowing Club in Auckland, New Zealand where she practices with a growing group of masters rowers – they love having guests so please visit if you are in town.
