Formed in 2004, Cardiff City Rowing Club (CCRC) operates on some of the best water in the country. Starting from a small core of ex- Welsh Squad rowers the club is rapidly developing into a performance orientated club with the aim of realising the potential of rowing in South Wales.

The club is based at the Cardiff Yacht Club, providing access to miles and miles of training on the Bay and the Rivers Taff and Ely.  The River Taff reaches into the centre of Cardiff, passing alongside Cardiff Castle and the Wales Millennium Stadium before reaching out into Cardiff Bay and the multi- lane rowing course, providing water for every phase of training.

All full members of CCRC are based at Cardiff Yacht Club which provides modern changing rooms, showers, meeting rooms and bar sought after by many clubs.

The club is developing its facilities and boat fleet with the aid of significant grant funding from the Sports Council for Wales (SCW).  The grant will enable the club to order a large fleet of boats to help achieve its performance goals of maximising the potential for rowers and scullers from South Wales. 

With Sports Council funding, CCRC has the opportunity to develop rowing in the local community.  The development of landing stages, coaching launches and expansion in our fleet enables the club to take on athletes who get a taste for the sport via the learn to row schemes, operated by the nearby Channel View Watersports Centre
