ARC25 breaks records | State Team announced

Entries for ARC25 are closed and it's officially a record-breaking event!

With the most entries (1829 on closing), and seats (5620) in its history, this will be the biggest Australian Rowing Championships ever!

No doubt the opportunity to race on our spectacular Lake Barrington International Rowing Course has played a big part in luring 2129 athletes to Tasmania for the event from March 24-30.

Rowing Tasmania this week announced those athletes and coaches selected in the State Team to represent Tasmania in the 2025 Interstate Regatta on Sunday, March 30.

If you missed the announcement you can click here for the list of rowers and coaches who will represent our state. Congratulations to all!

We'd like to wish all our participating rowers and coaches every success as they represent Rowing Tasmania, their clubs and their schools at the ARC. Make the best of our home water advantage!

Tasmanian Club Championships wrap-up

Great racing, great weather, great regatta! Congratulations to all the athletes who competed at the 2025 Bonney Energy Tasmanian Club Championships at LBIRC last weekend.

There were plenty of praise-worthy performances, and it was fantastic to see championship trophies and shields shared across so many of our clubs and schools.

Rowing Tasmania also recognises the coaches, supporters and volunteers who contributed to the success and atmosphere of the regatta.

If you haven't done so already, check out the pictures from the weekend on our Facebook page.
