Squads/Carfan

Located on the River Taff with access to Cardiff Bay, Cardiff City is a great place to row for all abilities.

Cardiff City Rowing Club welcomes new members of all ages and abilities. We are a friendly club located in the heart of Wales with access to a large stretch of water winding past the Capital's most famous landmarks. 

Senior Squad

If you’ve rowed before and ar interested in rejoining the sport, then our Senior Squad is for you. With a strong base of athletes from all backgrounds and genders across the group, we cater and support athletes of all ambitions from local regattas to international racing, as well as a number of competitive Masters rowers. We also cater for athletes who would prefer to enjoy casual rowing in the country's capital, and those who wish to develop their confidence on the water including access to both sweep and sculling boats for all.

Junior Squad

We also run a small Junior Squad with a feeder stream from the Cardiff & Vale Schools Rowing Academy. Our juniors are committed to training and complete their sessions around busy school and social schedules. Our goal is to produce juniors who can progress to University or Club rowing with the necessary skills to succeed at that level.

Novice Squad

Although we have run taster sessions and built a strong Novice Squad in the past, we currently cannot accept those without rowing experience. There are however, ‘Learn to Row’ courses available in conjunction with Cardiff Bay Water Activities Centre which is located in the same place and involve some of our members as coaches. This programme leads well into our Senior Squad and we welcome anyone undertaking this course to get in touch.

History

Formed in 2004, the club was started by a small core of ex-Welsh rowers looking to take advantage of the newly barraged River Taff. Originally located at Cardiff Bay Yacht Club, the club rapidly grew into a performance orientated club. With a focus on small boats and some access to some of the best waters in the country, Cardiff City was able to establish itself as a place for athletes to develop a higher standard of rowing, helping to realise the potential of rowing in South Wales. 

In 2013, the club re-located to Channel View Leisure Centre, where it was able to quickly established itself into the heart of rowing in Cardiff City. In 2016, a a new partnership was developed with Cardiff and Vale Schools Rowing Academy, helping to develop the potential of junior rowers in Cardiff and the surrounding area.
