Y ROWING CENTRE

Welcome to rowing at Melbourne's Albert Park Lake

The Y Rowing Centre, on Melbourne's beautiful Albert Park Lake, provides an opportunity for people of all ages (from teens through to mature age adults) to learn and enjoy rowing in a safe and friendly atmosphere and at an affordable price. Contrary to popular opinion you don't need to be exceptionally strong, or fit, to learn to row. That's why so many people are taking up the sport and thoroughly enjoying themselves while getting fit along the way. Our Learn to Row page has more about our Beginners Classes.

Crew rowing is an impact-free sport that gives you a complete exercise package. The smooth and rhythmic motion of rowing exercises all the muscle groups in the arms, legs, back, abdomen and buttocks. It provides aerobic and strength conditioning and helps with weight-loss.
All you need is a thick pair of socks, t-shirt, bike shorts or track pants and a warm top during the winter. The Y Rowing Centre will provide the rest including new olympic-style rowing shells and expert tuition.

Rowed before?

If it has been a while since you've been in a boat, don't worry...many of our members have come back to rowing after years away from the sport. Why not come and have a row with us on our beautiful Lake and you will remember why you loved the sport.

Why not send us an email with some of your details and our Captain will arrange with you the best time to have a row with an appropriate squad.
