Rowing Head Coach
Ed Bloomfield
Ed joined the University of Bristol Boat Club (UBBC) in 2015 as our Development Coach and progressed quickly to Head Coach.
Having started coaching at St Edwards School Oxford, he swiftly took up a project with the women's squad. His work has brought the standard of Bristol Rowing up to a new height, culminating in a record 4th place in the Women's Championship 8+ at BUCS Regatta 2018, and a record 3rd place in the Men's Championships 8+ at BUCS Head 2026.
Ed is well-placed to continue developing our club programme, aiming to develop talented individuals from all squads into robust and successful athletes who can compete nationally and internationally.
