About this club
University of Waikato Rowing Club is a student-only club based at Waikato Rowing Club in Hamilton, with boat sheds on the Waikato River and at Lake Karapiro. Membership is open to University of Waikato students.
The club caters for rowers of all grades and runs special programmes for first-time (novice) rowers. Members train through the season and race at regattas across the year, and the club places weight on club culture and social events.
Members can also join Team Waikato to represent the university at the New Zealand University Rowing Championships, held each April.
In April 2018 the club won the University Rowing Championships at Karapiro, the first club to beat the University of Otago, which had won for the previous 20 years.
