Plymouth ARC was established in 1949. Situated on the Plym estuary, the club and our qualified coaches provide facilities for rowers and scullers of all ages and abilities, from beginners interested in learning to row, to experienced rowers looking for a club. New members, and those who are interested in trying the sport, are always welcome along to our taster sessions and Learn2Row courses.
The club has various members, from those who row recreationally, to others who train and regularly compete in the various events hosted in the west region and nationally - often obtaining fantastic results. Rowing is a fantastic form of exercise for all round fitness. We have a fleet of 19 fine boats, 6 training boats and a variation of indoor equipment (Including Concept 2 rowers) to suit all of our indoor training session requirements.
We also have software to link the rowing machines on a virtual river in case of bad weather on the Plym.
As a member of the West of England Amateur Rowing Association (WEARA), the club promotes rowing in a safe, friendly environment which is governed by British Rowing. We also participate in the Plymouth Rowing Forum which encourages people to take up the sport which is great at encouraging confidence, team building and the development of social skills. Annually, the club hosts its own head race and regatta on the Plym Estuary. This normally occurs around the end of January and the beginning of June respectively, with clubs from across the West Region travelling to enjoy a good days racing. Out main racing season across the South West starts in June and finishes at the beginning of September.
We are currently taking on rowers of all abilities whether you have rowed before or new to the sport and fancy trying it out.
We kindly ask for £30 for the first 6 water sessions which will then be taken off your membership should you wish to join.
Please be patient as we do have a long list of enquiries to get through but we are working as fast as we can.
Apologies if you have enquired previously but not had a response, please do try again. Covid has had a big impact on delivering our sport and we're still reliant on coaches who volunteer their time freely.
Our club membership is priced to promote the sport within the community and set at a level to only just keep the "lights on" and the boats maintained,
As an example a full years membership is:
Adult/Senior £115
Junior U18 in full time education or student £100
Family £180
Visiting Student (Away at Uni during term time) £30
Non Rowing £30
Membership is due APR 1st annually and discounted pro-rata depending upon the time of year joining.

"Having been a member of this big family (and club) since I was 13, I’ve seen multiple cycles of how this great team evolves. It’s been an incredible ride and one I would recommend to anyone." - Ime, Senior Member
