Meet Your Beach Sprint Team

The Rowing Australia Beach Sprint Team is flat-water rowing's wilder cousin. Beach Sprint and Coastal Rowing have both grown in popularity in recent years. It was announced in 2023 that Beach Sprint Rowing will be included in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games programme 

The World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals is the pinnacle event for the Beach Sprint team.
