Llandaff’s Splash and Dash Regatta held in the autumn each year gives members of the public the chance to find out more about rowing and take part in a regatta race.

In 2026 we are celebrating 80 years of Llandaff Rowing club and will also be holding a torchlight procession on the final evening of racing.

How does it work?

Over the course of four weeks, crews of four learn basic rowing skills, improve their general fitness and at the end of their training, compete in a 500m fun race.

All equipment, coaching and coxing is provided by Llandaff Rowing Club and the event is open to both men and women from the age of 17+.

Crews are based on coxed fours, with race events for women, men and mixed crews, plus senior category for the 40+. Sessions are generally around 30 minutes and can be up to 3 sessions a week, based on a booking system.

Prizes for all winners and a special prize for the best dressed crew.

For crews entering an additional event (eg. Men’s crew and Women’s crew wishing to enter a Mixed crew as well or a Senior (aged 40+) also wishing to enter the younger age group), a discount of 50% is offered for the second event.

Sessions are on a booking system only, and your first session can be booked on the night you bring your entry form and payment has been made. After that, your weekly sessions will be booked every Thursday evening at 7pm per week.
