Bring on the waves!

Where the fixed and slide seat sit side by side.

Formed in 2021, Barry Athletic Coastal Rowing Club is based on the coast at Barry Island. Our vision is to make the sport accessible for all, competitive, recreational and adaptive. Rowing has many physical and mental health benefits, it works nearly all of the muscles in your body so it is a very efficient work-out. The land training is just as important as the water sessions!

We are a friendly bunch and enjoy the challenges of the open water. The club has celtic long boats for fixed seat rowing and has recently launched coastal scull rowing which is the wilder side to the sliding seat discipline. We participate in many events, social activities and training opportunities for those who wish to progress in the sport.

We have many club sessions available on a weekly basis which you can register via an app and offer additional sessions for those preparing to race. The 'Row with us' section on our site provides a bit more information about the different disciplines of rowing and all the information you need about our membership. If you have any questions we'd love to hear from you!
