Row with Black Mountain Rowing Club

Whether you want to learn to row, want to come back to rowing, or you are new to Canberra and are looking for a club to join, you will find a warm welcome at Black Mountain. We love to compete and we enjoy getting together socially.

I want to row

Our well-recognised rowing course offers 5 x 2 hour sessions.  By the end of the course you will be able to row but, of course, rowing is a continuing learning experience and gaining higher levels of competency takes time.  The Club sometimes runs free transition courses for those learn-to-rowers who join the Club to consolidate skills.

Anyone 18 and over can learn to row at our Club. In Canberra there are competing rowers in their 80s. Rowing is excellent exercise for the whole of the body, being a low-impact sport involving aerobic conditioning and stretching..

Courses start regularly from spring until autumn. Contact our learn-to-row coordinator for more information.

See the LTR details page and the LTR application form.

I'm looking for a club to join

Our goal is to provide a friendly environment which encourages you to develop your skills and, importantly, to enjoy the rowing experience. While many members compete, that is a choice for individuals, with some just enjoying rowing, the amenity and atmosphere.

If you want to join our Club, the best way to make a decision is to come to meet us. Canberra is a city with a many short-term residents and we've often enjoyed their company. You will love our Lake, Canberra's centrepiece.
