Rowing is a sport that is enjoyed by all ages; it can be started when in junior school and continued into retirement.

The best way to get involved in rowing is to contact your local club. Most offer opportunities for beginners to try the sport, ranging from open days to Learn to Row courses. If you have a competitive streak, there are plenty of opportunities on the water and even an indoor rowing championship!

Advances in rowing equipment mean that it is increasingly an inclusive sport and some clubs offer adaptive rowing - the name given to rowing for people with a disability. For further information, contact Welsh Rowing.

Sea rowing is a separate discipline, with clubs around most of the Welsh coastline.
