Welcome to
The UWA Boat Club
We offer rowing programs for both students and non-students, from beginners through to international athletes.
Rowing at UWA
We cater for all abilities. Find your crew:

Masters
Over the age of 27? Then you’re eligible to row Masters.
Our Masters crews cater for beginners through to experienced rowers returning to the sport.
Recently completed a Learn to Row program? Then you may consider stepping up and trying a race!
Were you pretty handy with an oar back in the day? We’d love to see you get back in the boat.

You’ll become part of a crew and train together leading up to your first regatta.
Training schedule is typically 2 to 3 sessions per week, mostly afternoons, with both on and off water activities.
If you’re at Uni, we recommend starting here.

Shenton College
The UWA Boat Club is excited to run the Shenton College rowing program in 2021/22. Shenton won the overall title at the Rowing WA All Schools Championships for four years in a row, from 2015 to 2018.
UWABC has a long association with Shenton College (going back to 2003) and the rowing program in its current form has been running for the past 6 years.
Our qualified instructors coach crews from Years 9 to 12.

Learn to Row
If you’d just like to test the waters, take our Community Learn to Row course.
You’ll learn the basics of the rowing stroke, how to safely handle all the equipment, and will be rowing merrily down the Swan in no time (hopefully all the way to Elizabeth Quay)!
If you’re at Uni or think you might want to race down the track, we recommend Novice Rowing.
