Army Rowing Clubs Association (ARCA)

The Army Rowing Clubs Association (ARCA) exists to encourage and promote the sport of rowing within the British Army.  ARCA supports two main disciplines of rowing; inland sliding seat rowing (scull and row) and indoor rowing.  We cater for all abilities, from soldiers who have never rowed before to personnel who have represented Great Britain at the Olympics.

If you want to try out a new physically demanding and technical sport, or if you already know how to row and want to get involved, then contact Army Rowing through MODnet or social media.
