Founded in 1872, the Argonaut Rowing Club (ARC) is one of Canada's oldest and largest clubs. The club has continued to play a significant role in this classic, demanding and rewarding sport. Located on the Western Beaches of Toronto, it offers novice and experienced rowers excellent rowing conditions along a breakwater-protected course. The Argonaut Rowing Club inspires a lifelong passion for the sport of rowing in all members. ARC is open to anyone interested in rowing, whether beginner or elite rower. Our membership includes rowers of all ages and levels of ability. Individual goals range from staying fit to competing in local, national or international regattas. ARC offers programs for persons with disabilities to learn to row and participate as recreational or competitive members. Some of our adaptive athletes are on the Canadian National team.
