By opting for gelcoat over the polyurethane paint we use on our racing shells, we are providing a tougher finish: perfect for low maintenance, even with the knocks these boats are likely to get.
All hulls are off-white, with 4 upper-colour options:
Colours shown are approximate. If colour matters, check using the RAL number.
| Swatch | RAL # | Name | Hull | Upper |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RAL 9016 | Off white | from 2023 | from 2023 | |
| RAL 7035 | Light grey | until 2023 | until 2023 | |
| RAL 3020 | Red | No | from 2018 | |
| RAL 3001 | Red | No | until 2018 | |
| RAL 5012 | Aqua blue | No | Yes | |
| RAL 1018 | Yellow | No | Yes |
Swift produces oars for our Cadet and Cadet Mini boats with shorter shafts in 3 lengths: Short, Medium, Long. Manufactured with purpose-built tooling, so they're correctly sized, not "cut down" versions of normal scull oars. Handle external diameter is CNC-cut to fit perfectly inside the shaft.
Three grip sizes on two handle sizes:
| Handle | Color Code | Grip Diameter |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Red | 32 mm |
| Medium | Orange | 35 mm |
| Medium | Purple | 37 mm |
Loosening 2 screws gives up to 12 cm of quick length adjustment. All handles have the overall length engraved, no need to measure each time.
HP grade is not offered, at this reduced length, oars become too light and stiff.
| Club Performance (CP) | Recreational (Rec) | |
|---|---|---|
| Total weight: Long (per piece) | 1.42 ± 0.2 kg | 1.47 ± 0.2 kg |
| Total weight: Medium (per piece) | 1.36 ± 0.2 kg | 1.41 ± 0.2 kg |
| Total weight: Short (per piece) | 1.34 ± 0.2 kg | 1.39 ± 0.2 kg |
| Max variation per pair (kg) | 20 g | 30 g |
| Shaft stiffness: Long | 35 mm | 40 mm |
| Shaft stiffness: Medium | 28 mm | 34 mm |
| Shaft stiffness: Short | 24 mm | 28 mm |
| Max variation per pair (cm) | 2 mm | 2 mm |
The sleeve is positioned so that small rowers in Swift Cadets/Cadet Minis achieve the same stroke length and similar (or lighter) gearing as taller scullers in bigger singles.
| A2 blade | A3 blade | |
|---|---|---|
| Long: Length (cm) | 268-280 | 273-285 |
| Medium: Length (cm) | 256-268 | - |
| Short: Length (cm) | 244-256 | - |
For the Kiddy 1x we recommend the medium or short Cadet oars.
Available in 2 boat grades: Club A and Club B.
This is the lightest grade offered for Trainer 1x.

Flatwater/Reference
Each grade is finished to the same high standard with a different price point, Olympic raceable through to robust Novice Masters fleet. Five grades, six rigger profiles, full colour catalogue. Use this page to spec any Swift flatwater shell.
Every Swift flatwater shell shares three non-negotiable construction features. The grade changes the materials and price, never the geometry, never the finish standard. The boat you train in is the boat you race.
A core material (honeycomb, coremat, or PVC foam) is sandwiched between two skins. The core picks up bending stiffness; the skins pick up tensile load.
Epoxy resin, cured at high temperature, under vacuum. Higher strength-to-weight than wet-lay or hand-lay, lower void content, longer life.
Closed seat decks for maximum buoyancy: Swift exceeds FISA's buoyancy requirement on every shell, every grade, every hull number.
Five grades let you choose the materials and price that suit your need, from rowing in the Olympics to putting out a fleet of robust singles for your Novice Masters group.
Tap any grade for the full construction spec: hull, saxboards, canvas decks, and seat deck. Specs follow Swift's published material schedule for every flatwater shell from 1x through 8+.
For when every second counts.
