WA rowers from Swan River Rowing Club and Fremantle Rowing Club delivered impressive performances throughout the regatta, securing 10 medals across a range of events and age categories.

Rowing WA was also proud to have representation off the water.Grant Ford served as a Boat Race Official, helping ensure fair and safe competition across the four-day regatta, while Conall Hansford and Ellie Madin volunteered throughout the event, contributing to the successful delivery of the Championships.  

The Australian & Oceania Beach Sprints Championships continue to provide an important pathway for athletes interested in coastal rowing, a rapidly growing discipline that will make its Olympic debut at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
