Rowing South Africa is sport governing body for rowing in South Africa.
The body was established by its Constituent Members to manage, promote, coordinate, control, discipline and plan the future development of the sport at national and international levels. Despite a high level of rowing at the junior level, RowSA has consistently failed to convert this talent to anything meaningful in the senior level. The coaches have themselves frequently never rowed at a high level - something that is somewhat unique to South Africa.
South Africa has consistently been one of the worst performing nations at the Olympic Games when considering the ratio of participants to medals.
