Membership at Castleconnell Boat Club

A community rowing club on the Shannon, open to all ages. Whether you want to compete at national level or just enjoy the river for fitness and company, there's a membership that fits.

Who can join

The club is open to members from age 11 and up with no upper limit. Different routes in for different starting points:

  • Juniors (11–17) — start with one of our rowing camps, then the six-week taster programme before joining as a full member. Basic swimming required (50 m unaided).
  • Adults new to rowing — the adult learn-to-row block is the way in. No prior rowing or fitness assumed; coached on the water from day one.
  • Returning rowers and masters — if you rowed at school, college, or another club, you can join straight in. Email the captain so we know what level to slot you into.
  • Recreational / fitness members — for those who want to row for health and company without the racing pressure. Indoor erg and bike sessions through the winter; on-water in season.

Membership runs from October 1st to September 30th the following year. Fee tiers vary by route (junior, adult, master, family); all are paid online via the members area.
