Horsham City Rowing Club is the home of rowing on the Wimmera River at 1 Barnes Boulevard, Horsham. Its site describes a volunteer-run, not-for-profit membership club which promotes rowing, fitness and appreciation of the river environment.

The club was founded in 1972 by a group of local business and sports-minded people. Its published purpose is to promote, teach and compete in amateur rowing, while sustaining community participation around the Wimmera River.

Programs cover Learn to Row, junior rowing, senior recreational and competitive rowing, and masters rowing. The Learn to Row course consists of four sessions introducing the boathouse and boats, ergometer work, rowing language, technique and basic on-water skills.

Membership options distinguish competitive, recreational, junior, associate and coxswain members. The club also advertises temporary membership for experienced visitors who want to train from the Horsham boathouse.

The club's news records junior boys progressing from beginners to C-grade competition and the Victorian State Championships in the 2024-25 season. It also reports that member Ray White received Rowing Victoria's 2024 Kath Bennett Community Rowing Award for volunteer contribution, while an earlier group represented Horsham at the 2014 World Masters Rowing Regatta in Ballarat.
