We had eleven rowers head out to Iron Cove to compete in the Leichardt Rowing Club regatta. A big thank you to RC for a great event. The conditions were favourable and our rowers enjoyed rowing on a different waterway. We had some great results and a lot of happy rowers at the end of the day

We had ten rowers compete at the State Championships. It was a massive event with rowers from across Australia competing. Our rowers performed very well with many going away with season best performances. Despite some racing being cancelled our rowers made the most of the opportunity against some of the best rowers from around Australia.

Lara represented her school, Loreto Notmanhurst, claiming gold in the under 17 eight.
Miles, coach and Nepean junior, representing Sydney RC, claiming gold in the open eight, silver in the opens four and bronze in the opens pair.

It has been a busy start to the year with our annual camp kicking off on the second of January which began with erg testing and then we headed off to Taree for the much anticipated Taree Summer regatta. The camp provided a good opportunity for extra water time and saw some good improvements for the whole squad. We then raced over three days on the Manning River in one of our favourite events of the season. There were many highlights for individual rowers and for the club. It was great to be able to boat a women's eight and to once again have a mixed eight. We also had three of our coaches complete their level 2 accreditations and we look forward to them imparting this knowledge to the club members

Do you row at a school and want to get on the water this holidays? We hold sessions throughout the holidays and we welcome all rowers of all skill levels. If you want to row on a great waterway and have some fun this holidays, while refining your technique for the school season, please reach out to us via email or DM

It was wonderful to have the club come together to celebrate Christmas early. We had a special visit from Santa and the much anticipated bake off was another great success. Thank you to everyone who made the event possible

The NSW CHSSA Rowing Championships were held on the Nepean River on the 11-12th December.
We were delighted to support the event and it was wonderful to see so many public school students enjoying the experience. Thank you to everyone who made the event possible.
We had four club members compete in the Championship. Special mentions to Viti and Sophia for winning the double and pair along with placing fifth and fourth respectively in the single. Milla took away silver in the under 15 single. Also it was great to have three rowers take part in the inter regional quads. Viti, Sophia and Aiden

The Reindeer regatta saw twelve Nepean rowers take to the water. It was another good opportunity to race at SIRC and see where everyone is at before we start our holiday camps. It was also great to see many rowers decorating their boats for the event

The conditions were perfect to start the Sprint Championships but similar to Saturday, the conditions became challenging as the day went on. Our rowers performed very well with the club going away with four golds and three bronze medals. Thank you to everyone who made the day possible and congratulations to everyone who took part
