Rivelac Rowing Club welcomes rowers of every age, for racing and for touring alike. Juniors start at 11, and adults begin every spring.
Every outing logged by members feeds these figures: outings, kilometres and participation, updated nightly.
October counted up to the 13th. Totals only, no individual data.
The boathouse sits at the end of the harbour, a five-minute walk from the station. The club runs on the volunteer work of its members.

Around fifty members race. Coaches follow every age group, from the U15s discovering their first regattas to the masters aiming at the national championships.
The water season runs from April to October, with six to eight regattas in Switzerland. In winter we train on the ergometer and in the gym, with a training camp in spring.
In 2026 the club finished first in the regional youth ranking, and its crews won seven podiums at the national championships, four of them titles.
Every start by the club, imported automatically after each regatta from the official results platform. When a race was filmed, the video is linked through the race number.
The rank is the place in the race (heat or final). Medals are read from the A finals.
Touring rowers go out several times a week, all year round, in touring boats or sculling boats. We row for pleasure, fitness and company, without a stopwatch.
Every summer the club organises one or two trips on other waters: rivers in France, Italian lakes or international tours open to every member who can steer and row in a crew.
Two sessions a week from the start of school in August to the autumn holidays: safety, technique in a stable boat, then first strokes in a single. Swimming 200 metres is required.
Sign-up from 1 June at jeunes@aviron-rivelac.example
After the rowing school, juniors who wish to can join the racing squad of their age, with three to five sessions a week and national regattas.
