About this club
Y Rowing Club rows on Albert Park Lake from Lakeside Drive in Melbourne. Its current site describes an all-female rowing membership, while its Learn to Row courses are open to participants of all genders.
The club developed from the YWCA Rowing Club and later adopted the shorter Y Rowing Club name. Australian Rowing History says the precise original foundation date is difficult to establish but places the organisation before 1931. The published history says the club operates as a division of YWCA Victoria.
The club history records national recognition as Rowing Australia's Club of the Year in 1999. It also describes members racing at World Masters events and the club's continuing annual regatta on Albert Park Lake.
Current activities include regular rowing sessions, regatta participation and rowathons. The club runs beginner sessions on the lake and Rowing Victoria promoted a free Come and Try event there in November 2024.
A Victorian government profile reports the club's participation in Seniors Festival Come and Try activity and monthly Learn to Row courses. The club address is 34-38 Lakeside Drive, Albert Park, correcting the input's erroneous Sydney location.
