Our Club
Ardingly Rowing Club (ARC) was founded in 1995 by 4 local rowers who saw the beauty of the Reservoir and lamented the lack of rowing in the local area. When we started back in 1995 we had no boats, no money and no members.
Starting with begged and borrowed surplus equipment from their rowing contacts, the hard work and dedication of the early members plus considerable grants from Project Oarsome and British Rowing has helped build the club to where it is today.
We currently have over 100 club members, and over 40 boats.
Ardingly Rowing Club's ethos is to enable all who come to the sport of rowing at our Club - regardless of age, race, gender or athletic ability - to be able to row, scull or cox to their full potential, and to enjoy the sport safely to the level at which they wish to participate.
The club is run entirely by volunteers and all coaching is also by volunteers.
We endeavour to provide coaching for all club members, by allocating each club member to a specific squad, each of which follows its own training plans and training times on the lake.
