School rowers make up the majority of membership at Rowing SA. To be a part of arguably the “ultimate team sport” in a school rowing program through a child’s formative years helps develop character, resilience, confidence, and strength. The rowing community welcomes each individual school as they help create culture, support regattas and provide atmosphere around our rowing venues.

School students can be a part of rowing even if it is not offered by their school. They are also able to have affiliations with both a club and school program if they are already part of a rowing school. This can help the athlete to continue rowing after their school program finishes, and is encouraged for young athletes who would like to take their rowing further.
