Objective: increasing the level of professional training of specialists in the field of physical culture and sports by studying modern trends in the development of rowing sports. Material & Methods: methods of systematization and generalization of data from the websites of rowing sports federations (IFC, FISA), competition rules, regulatory documents. Changes in the Competition Rules (2019) for indoor rowing, coastal rowing, Para-rowing and paracanoe were analyzed. The data on the Rules for SUP boarding competitions, which come into force from January 2022, was summarized. As a result of the analysis of the international rowing circular, the key performance indicators of FISA for 2019 were studied. Conclusions: Indoor rowing is developing, the number of participants in the world championships is increasing; the perspective for virtual training and competition was defined. Coastal rowing is developed in many regions, used in countries where there are no natural conditions for training and competitions in rowing. It was observed the development of rowing types, which are combined with other sports: canoe-polo, canoe with sails, Waveski surfing.

In 2010, there were 8.6 million views of the FISA website, in 2019 – more than 25 million. More spectacular rowing disciplines (extreme slalom) are being introduced into the program of the Olympic Games.

In connection with the emergence of extreme types of rowing (rafting, freestyle, extreme slalom, downhill skiing, ocean racing, etc.), there is an increased attention to the safety of training and competitions. Cooperation of international rowing sports and environmental organizations is observed. Results: The current trends in the development of rowing sports are summarized.
