Lessons can be scheduled once covid restrictions allow.

Like many other sports clubs, Castleconnell Boat Club has been hit hard by Covid 19 with members unable to get out and row on the river or gather together to train during lockdowns. Even though the rowing has stopped, the bills for insurance and maintenance continue so the club has been looking at innovative ways to raise the funds needed so they are ready to get back into action when restrictions permit.

We’ve started a GoFundMe to help with repairs after the severe flooding we experienced in February. Unfortunately most of our annual fundraisers are cancelled due to Covid-19. If you are in a position to help support this campaign, it would really help us??https://t.co/oQd5HCLo7P

A spokesperson for Castleconnell Boat Club explains, “You’ve never seen the River Shannon until you’ve seen it from the River Shannon. The feeling of gliding across the water in near silence is second to none. There’s no better way to get close to nature, have fun, and improve your fitness at the same time.” 

Castleconnell Boat Club was founded 30 years ago and is situated in a unique and picturesque location on the banks of the River Shannon in the village of Castleconnell, Co. Limerick and takes advantage of a beautiful stretch of water between O’Brien’s Bridge and World’s End. It is only 6 miles from Limerick City and 3 miles from the University of Limerick.
