The Bala Regatta is held annually on the Saturday of the August long weekend at the town docks in Bala. The day includes traditional and fun events for the whole family to compete. The morning is comprised of swimming events, and in the afternoon we make the switch to rowing and paddling events. The regatta is organized and executed by the Bala Aquatic Association. That group up is made up of volunteers who make sure that each element of the regatta including the set up, the food, the races and scoring and the prizing is taken care of. If you are interested in volunteering to help with the regatta there are a variety of things you can do with varying levels of time commitment. Please Contact Us for more information on how you can volunteer. 

Registration is completed on the morning of the regatta. Rates are very affordable and serve to offset the costs associated with running the regatta and providing prizing for the races. You can view the rates and print off the Registration Form online to save you time the morning of the event. 

In order to keep the regatta going and affordable, the Bala Aquatic Association also relies on the support of numerous local sponsors. These sponsors provide things like prizing, equipment and even the integral boom for our swimming races. We ask that you visit our Sponsors page and ensure that you do your best to support our sponsors so that can continue to support us.
