Established in 1890, Paignton rowing club is at the heart of Paignton Harbour and has been providing coaching support to rowers since 1890.  We pride ourselves in being a friendly and fully inclusive club that welcomes new members of all ages to get involved and hopefully become as passionate about rowing as we are.

 Our skiff rowing coaching team have 70 years rowing and coaching experience between them and joined as young competitive rowers, wining medals and being integral to the success of the club.  The coaches have continued to support the growth and development of rowers young and old over many years in rowing, which has also led to individual confidence and provided a great opportunity to recognise and understand the benefits of being part of a great team.  Many young rowers who have trained with Paignton rowing club have gone on to compete at national championships and some have been awarded scholarships to develop their rowing ability to the highest standard.

Surprisingly rowing isn’t an expensive hobby with a small donation to the club to cover insurance fees and overheads and as a not-for-profit organisation any additional funds raised are re-invested to keep equipment in good working order.

 There are several different styles of fine boat rowing and we also offer gig rowing.  

We start training on land as we develop experience and provide opportunity to focus the different styles of rowing vessel suitable to individuals. 

 We have gym facilities available for additional land training which provides the opportunity for continued training and team development on and off the water.

 If you are interested in learning a little more about the club and rowing, please come along and meet the team and we’d be happy to show you around.
