Exciting new initiative for Boat Race Officials!

Boat race officials (BROs) are the heart and soul of rowing. Without them, there would be no regattas, no rowing community, no future for our sport.

Rowing WA has introduced an exciting initiative for our BRO's. We value the time committed when being a Boat Race Official & this initiative is about the recognition of what you do for the rowing community.

Congratulations to Rowers Selected in the WA State Teams!

Rowing WA this week announced the coaches & athletes selected to represent WA at the 2021 Interstate Regatta in Tasmania at Lake Barrington on Sunday 28 March 2021.

After the 2020 National Championships were cancelled, the road for many of these athletes to reach their State Team aspirations has been long. Everyone has worked extremely hard to achieve their goals.

We wish everyone the very best of luck in Tasmania!

Tim Peterson's Story

Melanoma profoundly changed Tim’s life. Despite being an avid adventurer and rock climber, he believes nothing could’ve prepared him for the challenges he faced this past year.

“The irony of it all is that I thought I was too busy for a 10-minute check-up...
...Had I gone to the doctor earlier things would’ve been very different."

This is his story.
