20.01.2022 Congratulations Micah !! Bronze in the single at the @rowingaustralia Masters National Championships !!A blustery, windy headwind greeted Micah at the start but she wasn’t fazed. Special thanks to Brett Ralph, Australian Rowing Technical Director who once again made sure every para rower had a safe, enjoyable rowing experience. #refusetolose #champion @visionaustralia @ausparalympics #pararowing #toughlady

20.01.2022 Wow! YOU ALL ROCK!!! Thank you to the more than TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY-SOMETHING people who wrote in and signed our petition for a Para-rowing facility in #leichhardtpark which is being considered as part of the Inner West Council Leichhardt Park Masterplan at their meeting tomorrow night. Today we wrote to council to present the petition, and hopefully tomorrow we will be able to address Council on the Masterplan. We feel strongly that the Rowing NSW community needs more co...mmunity-based facilities to support #pararowing and #socialinclusion, and we want to work hard to create our dream - Community Rowing Club Sydney - a place where these programs can really shine, and increase the level of community participation in our sport. This is only the beginning of the process - there will be many more hurdles to get through (or in Rowing terms, we've only just hit the 250m mark)! But we are so grateful that we have such a wonderful community of supporters digging in and rowing this race with us! Stay tuned for more news, and THANK YOU ALL AGAIN! #disabilityinclusion #sport #rowing

20.01.2022 Woohoo!!!!! COUNCIL HAS PASSED THE LEICHHARDT PARK PLAN OF MANAGEMENT! We are on the map! THANK YOU to all those people who signed our petition - it was mentioned tonight and ensured that ultimately the plan was supported by an overwhelming majority of Councillors. Now we will get to work on our next step, and hope to have more news soon - thank you all once again!

19.01.2022 Big shout out to @kevvy_wall , a long term member of the para program. We wish him every success in today’s Masters National Interstate Race. Kevin will be racing for NSW, the second time he’s had the honour of racing an Interstate race. The first, for WA when he was racing at Nationals and now as the NSW Masters representative ! Bring it home hard and fast ! #refusetolose #parachampions #pararowing #rowingnsw #rowingaustralia #shoalhavenrowingclub

19.01.2022 We had a ball entering the Head of the Charles virtual race. We’ve been lucky enough to have competed twice in Boston on the beautiful waters of the Charles River and had a glorious win at our first attempt with the return year seeing us come in second losing by only 4 seconds ! This year Bronte Marshall, Lauren Webber, Ellie, Andrew Dick and Stephen Rowing all competed with some great results !... Congrats to our women’s PR3 competitors seeing Bronte with a win ( WOOOHOOOO) finishing ahead of 2nd place Lauren (. WOOOOHOOOO )by 0:00.500; Ellie finishing fifth ( a fantastic time showing enormous gains from dedication and commitment to her training ) while Andrew competing in the men’s PR3 came in fourth (WOOOOHOOOOO) . Well done to Stephen who was unable to upload his time but brought home a great time. Bring on some more competiton !!!! Thanks to the organising committee of the Head Of The Charles Regatta for the opportunity to join the race for a third time!

19.01.2022 Congratulations Anne Craig. Your dedication as a volunteer to our program as permanent treasurer, elite rowing coach, superb administrator and member of the planning committee for our new club is always acknowledged by us and now acknowledged and celebrated by the wider community. Let’s celebrate our volunteer in this very special National Volunteer Week. @rowingnsw @sportnsw @disabilitysportsaustralia @ausparalympics @rowingaustralia #volunteer #innerwest #amylarge #pararowing #respect #acknowledge #thankyou

17.01.2022 Did you remember Rising Phoenix is on Netflix today ?? It’s a must watch for everyone !! Enjoy and post here your thoughts after you’ve viewed it .... https://www.netflix.com/title/81122408?s=i&trkid=13747225

17.01.2022 With the series approaching it's half way mark, we've seen some exciting racing! The Novice single is always a very exciting event. This race is unique as all c...ompetitors must have NEVER faced a starter in any rowing event before competing, meaning that the novice scull is often a new rower's first race. What was #YourFirstRace experience? Some have capsized, some collided with other rowers (or the shore), while some have won or lost by millimetres, or hundreds of metres! Comment below and share #YourFirstRace to help our new rower's get over some of the nerves ahead of their first time on a course! Rowing NSW Rowing Australia

16.01.2022 Congratulations @kevvy_wall on your silver in the Interstate Men’s PR3 single ! What a race ! Congrats to SA’s @newbootoldjeans on the win and to ACT’s @stuartajohn on his third. This was the inaugural PR3 Interstate race held at the Masters Nationals and given the success of this race we look with excitement to the next one ! @rowingnsw @actrowing @rowingsa @ausparalympics @sportnsw #champions #pararowing #rowing

14.01.2022 PLEASE HELP! As many of you know, we're trying to get approval to build a community facility for people with disabilities, which will also be large enough for us to run programs for indigenous youth, and local kids (especially targeted to those who can't usually afford the sport). Inner West Council is considering part of the proposal as part of their masterplan for Leichhardt Park - we need to get as many people as possible to show their support! ... If you are happy to support this ideal, PLEASE SIGN our petition linked below! https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx

08.01.2022 Thursday thoughts - a moving story

08.01.2022 Congratulations to Emily who is sorely missed from our rowing / coaching group. We can’t wait to see her back cutting up the floor here !

07.01.2022 Sometimes we find we’re just too short, and sometimes it’s that we aren’t as supple as we used to be then there’s the moment when we’re heading out for a long long row and we need just a bit of padding to sit on..... For those days when it’s just a fairytale moment it’s all purples and blues. For those days when it’s serious and competitive we go the aqua... and white And then there’s the days when whimsy is in the air and we just want to mess about in our boats ..... Thanks Gel Greene for your amazing hand painted rowing seat pads ! Rowing NSW Gelpads RowingPost

06.01.2022 Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a rower ? Have you watched your friends talk excitedly about how great it is to jump in a boat and row ? Not all of us can just jump up and in. ... For some, the steps to a boat can be more challenging and exhausting than imaginable. Thanks to the Para Rowing Foundation for allowing our very own Zarni Tun takeover their Instagram for a day amd post his story. Enjoy watching his path to his boat and how he maintains the fitness needed to do what he does ! Community Rowing Club Sydney Rowing NSW Concept2, Inc.

02.01.2022 A very important read for all athletes and anyone hoping to take part in any Olympics or Paralympics. We can stand and watch or we can stand and speak. We can’t do both .

02.01.2022 So beautifully said.

01.01.2022 We have worked with innovators, researchers and mechanical engineers over several years with the intention of creating better outcomes for our athletes rowing experiences. We now have several state of the art PR1 and 2 seats courtesy of High Performance Adaptive; we are working with the Engineering Department of the local university to come up with a better hand prosthetic and now, thanks to Jen Fleeton, we are the beneficiaries of ground breaking research. Jen Fleeton conduc...ted the first ever training study on athletes with cerebral palsy and found that their sports performance can be improved through heavy strength training. Her research has been selected as 1 out of 5 nominees for the Sydney University Research Innovation Prize. You can hear Jen explain the research and vote for the project at: https://www.judgify.me/public-vo/SIC2020/submissions/360569 If you watch the video closely you might even spot some of our Balmain Para Rowing stars! Jen is now developing workshops and resources to share this new knowledge with coaches and athletes. Prize money from the competition will be used to fund these workshops to ensure athletes can make the most effective use of their training time. We are now planning a master coaching session for athletes/coaches with Jen. If you're interested in attending please DM us and we will add you to the invitation list.
