Welcome to the Rotorua Rowing Club
Rowing has been happening in Rotorua since 1904. The Rotorua Rowing Club was incorporated in 1962. The Rotorua Rowing Club ‘umbrella’ includes Club Rowers, School Rowers from the Rotorua High Schools, an active and growing Masters programme, and a Community rowing programme.
The club is located in the Rotorua Watersports Trust building on the Rotorua city lakefront near the North end of the walkway. Rowers train on the western side of the lake, from the City past Ngongotahā township to the northern side of the lake, generally shallow and safe training water.
