About Black Mountain Rowing Club

One of the oldest rowing clubs in Canberra, our club caters for both recreational and competing sportspeople.

At a competing level, the club aims to develop crews and individuals who compete in and win the ACT Club Championships. A small number of club members will go on compete at an elite level at state, national and international championships.

We encourage recreational rowing, and non-competing memberships are available at a reduced rate. Family participation has become a feature of the club. Several families regularly row together, either as a crew or in crews with others of their own age and ability.

Our fleet of boats has a small number of boats for elite rowers, a wide range of sculling boats and a number of sweep boats. We support members in their skill and fitness development with qualified coaches. Skill development is encouraged by beginning in single sculls, then progressing to crewed and sweep boats. Spring through to autumn is the best time to start rowing. Members are encouraged to develop their fitness, technique and to continually improve.
