Rowing with SURC is open to all members of Sport Swansea, who provide a nominal level of funding and insurance for all university clubs.

The club trains on the River Tawe and enjoys almost exclusive use of the 3 km of rowable water, with two long straight sections.

Land-based training takes place at the University Sports Centre, along the seafront and sometimes on the beach in Swansea Bay itself.

The Welsh Boat Race is the main training focus before the BUCS Regatta, the start of the "regatta season", where Swansea University Rowing Club race Cardiff University Boat Club side-by-side along a set distance on either the River Taff or the River Tawe.

The President and Secretary looked into moving the club to the River Tawe by the Morfa Stadium and secured a small space to keep boats there.

[5] The club was revived in 2004 by Tim Stickley, who found just one river-worthy boat in a shed by the university playing fields.

With help from Welsh Rowing and the university, SURC has purchased a number of new racing shells for the fleet, allowing the expanding membership to perform at the highest level they can.

[7] Also from SURC have been Welsh International rowers Daniel John, Kate Evans, Edward Hares and Aidan Thompson.
