2025 Asian Tour

Under 26 Rowers and Coxswains are invited to apply for an exciting rowing tour, heading to China at the end of November 2025!

Coaches are also invited to apply to lead one of two eights on this trip.

Introduction

Rowing WA will be selecting two U26 eight crews and two coxswains (18 athletes in total), to participate in an international event in China (final regatta TBC). There will be one male, and one female crew selected. Coxswains can be of any gender. This initiative forms part of a joint athlete development and cultural outreach program, partially funded by a grant from the  Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport (CITS). The grant from CITS will offset approximately 50% of the Athlete Seat Fee. The tour offers a unique opportunity for emerging and competitive athletes to gain valuable international racing experience. 

Tour Philosophy 

The tour will continue to build on the positive relationships that developed as a result of the 2024 Asian Engagement tour. The primary aim of this tour is to provide U26 athletes with exposure to international racing and training environments. It will serve as a platform to nurture talent that is aspiring to compete at the next level. 

Participants must be over 18 by the departure date of the tour unless otherwise advised. Contact RWA if you are Under 18 but would like to be considered.
