Founded in 1887 and still a thriving coastal club, training all year and competing at coastal regattas throughout Kent and Sussex each summer.

Well done to our members took part in this year's annual triathlon event at Tankerton slopes, Whitstable.
It involved 500m open-water sea swim, 20km bike route and finishing off with a 5km run.

Unfortunately Bexhill regatta was cancelled so we thought we'd have a mini 'training' event with a BBQ and scavenger hunt afterwards.
We mixed up crews so everyone had a go at scull and sweep oar and rowed with people they don't normally row with.
