At the LUCERNE REGATTA, para-athletes have been competing since 2023.The introduction of para-rowing also kicked-off the LUCERNE REGATTA’s commitment to promoting para-rowing in Switzerland. We support SWISS ROWING as well as interested rowing clubs in Switzerland with the introduction and expansion of their para-rowing programs.
Made possible thanks to the support of key partners
With over 120 years of experience in organizing rowing regattas, the organizing committee (OC) has already overcome numerous challenges. However, the introduction of para-rowing opens up an entirely new chapter. In this regard, the expertise and support of various partner organizations are of great importance. Suva, in particular, our integration partner, is providing long-term support for the project. Suva has been involved as an integration partner in para-sports for many years. The aim of their commitment is to provide people who have suffered accidents with the opportunity to participate as para-athletes in competitions in Switzerland. Sports promotes reintegration into society, and at the same time, the athletes serve as important role models.
Contribution of the Lucerne Regatta to the promotion of Para rowing in Switzerland
As the organizer, the LUCERNE REGATTA Association aims to contribute to a more inclusive society that goes beyond the LUCERNE REGATTA itself. Para rowing in Switzerland is still in its early stages. Therefore, the Lucerne Regatta, in collaboration with the Swiss Rowing Federation (SWISS ROWING), is committed to promoting para-rowing in grassroots and youth sports as well.
