Para & Adaptive Rowing


Para and adaptive rowing provides athletes with a physical or intellectual impairment the opportunity to be active on or off the water, get involved in a fun and friendly club environment, and participate in a variety of competitions from club regattas to national championships to world championships and Paralympic Games.

We are looking for individuals who are dedicated, hardworking, and have a passion for excellence.  As an athlete with a disability, you have no doubt overcome countless challenges thus far.  

We invite you to take up this next challenge.  No rowing experience necessary!

There are a number of clubs that offer para and adaptive rowing around New Zealand.  If you are interested or know of somebody who might like to try out the sport, please contact pararowing@rowingnz.kiwi and we will put you in touch with somebody in your area.
