What We Do

With a rich heritage of competition, camaraderie, and resilience—reflected in our motto “Out of darkness, through fire, into light”—ARC has fostered generations of rowers, from novices to Olympians. ARC continues to uphold its legacy through active participation in local and national regattas.

 

Our iconic Clubhouse overlooks Elder Park and Pinky Flat in the heart of the Adelaide CBD, and serves as both a training ground and a social hub for members.

 

ARC also operates out of the Rowing SA complex at West Lakes with one of the most modern boat fleets in the state.
