The Armidale Rowing Club was founded in 1988 and provides sculling and sweep oar rowing for all in the Armidale and Guyra areas, from ages 13 and up. Armidale Rowing Club is based out of the Rogers and Sypkens Boat Shed, which is located on Malpas Dam (approximately 30km north of Armidale). Malpas Dam was built as the major water supply for the city of Armidale and currently has a storage capacity of 13,000 megalitres.
The Armidale Rowing Club’s Learn to Row Course is designed to teach those who have never rowed before the basic skills involved with rowing.
If you have rowed at school or elsewhere and wish to row again, or if you are brand new to the sport, you’re welcome to join.
