“Rowers … can do it all, and they can do it well. Joining the rowing team will be the greatest decision you will ever make if you choose to accept the harsh realities of the sport. By doing so, you will understand the incalculable value of an indomitable spirit – and you will learn, above all, that your achievements in life are limited only by the magnitude of your drive to achieve them.” – Amy Yao
Our Club is recognised nationally as a pioneer in classic rowing being the first and only Club in Malta which regularly offers training on its 1x boats and 2x boats (which can also be rigged as 2-) in our Grand Harbour. Moreover, the Club is gradually setting up the required basic infrastructure, engaging experienced international rowers and coaches etc. This was possible since, for a number of years, the Club has teamed up with our neighbouring Italian Clubs who are most kindly guiding us in the process of introducing this kind of rowing in Malta. Club also owns a single-scull training boat, the first of its kind in Malta, acquired through a personal donation by one of its kind in Malta which can be used to teach practically everyone how to row, even para-athletes. We also offer our rowers the possibility to be trained by some of the world’s best coaches and athletes who share our common goals and ambitions.
Obviously, before starting on-water rowing, athletes are asked to become familiar with rowing through on-land training which we offer. The transition from on-land to on-water, with the magic this brings with it, is normally something natural. Our experience has shown that once you start, it’s unlikely that you will turn back.
