Activity Details
Footscray City Rowing Club welcomes people of all ages and abilities to get involved in rowing. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced rower, the club offers a supportive community to help you achieve your rowing goals.
Learn to Row Program: The club runs a 4-week Learn to Row (LTR) program for adults on consecutive Sundays at either 8am or 10am, running for 2 hours. The program costs $200 and includes 2 additional sessions in the Development Squad for those who wish to continue. Participants must be able to swim 50 metres. Rowing takes place in safe "tub" boats, and the club only operates when conditions are suitable.
Development Squad: After completing the initial 4-week program, rowers are invited to join the Development Squad for a further 2 weeks of coaching on Sunday mornings from 8:00am to 9:30am. This builds on the basics and prepares rowers for integration into competitive or social rowing opportunities.
Membership: Those who complete the Learn to Row program and decide to join the club receive a $100 discount on membership. Members can participate in Senior or Masters competition squads or continue rowing socially with other club members.
For further information and to register, contact the LTR coordinator at learntorow@footscrayrowing.com.au or visit the club website.

Thinking of water sports - rowing?
Rowing offers an unparalleled full-body workout and a strong team environment, whether in a single scull or an eight-person sweep boat. Social rowing emphasizes fitness, technique refinement, and camaraderie on the water rather than intense competitive pressure, making it a powerful way to stay active.
For individuals looking to get involved, finding a suitable rowing club, securing boat time, or locating experienced coaches can be challenging, as the sport requires specialized equipment and safe access to waterways. Joining a club is typically the essential first step to participate.
Discover opportunities for all ages and skill levels. Our website can help you find rowing classes, clubs, and lessons, including youth development programs tailored for kids, near you.
