Visegrad Rowing Academy  

Visegrad Rowing Academy is a joint international project connecting rowing clubs from four Central European countries: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland.

The aim of the project is long-term cooperation at the grassroots and youth level of rowing, focusing on:

• basic rowing development

• joint competitions and events

• shared training preparation on water, on land, and in winter conditions (snow)

At its core, the Visegrad Rowing Academy is built on the idea that sport is a powerful tool for more than performance alone.

The main pillars of the project are:

• sharing knowledge and coaching experience

• connecting cultures and sporting traditions

• improving language skills through real interaction

• building an international rowing community

• strengthening Central European identity and cooperation

The project is interconnected and supported by the International Visegrad Fund, whose support makes it possible to create meaningful, accessible, and high-quality joint activities across borders.

Thanks to this cooperation, individual camps, competitions, and exchanges become part of a broader, long-term vision — one that helps young athletes grow not only as rowers, but also as open-minded, confident, and internationally connected people.
