Welcome to Chester-le-Street Amateur Rowing Club (CLSARC), a friendly and welcoming club based on the River Wear in Chester-le-Street. We are a British Rowing affiliated community club, open to all ages and abilities, and we offer a variety of rowing activities for everyone to enjoy.

Rowing has taken place on the Wear at CLSARC for over 100 years where generations of families have pulled together in all weathers, enjoying the social and competitive aspects of the sport. Over the years we have had a lot of success, but after some difficult years we are now building for the future.

We are based next to the Riverside Sports Complex, and offer excellent facilities for rowing, both on and off the water. We also have a dedicated team of coaches who are passionate about helping people of all ages and abilities to learn to row.

If you’re interested in rowing, why not come and visit CLSARC? We’d love to see you!
