The Y Rowing Centre, located in Melbourne’s beautiful Albert Park Lake, offers various programs for beginners, intermediate and experienced rowers. People of all ages can learn to row here, in a safe and friendly environment. Prices are very affordable.

Crew rowing is an impact-free sport that gives you a complete exercise package. You don’t need to be strong or fit to learn rowing. It’s fun, and the smooth rhythmic motion of rowing gives your arms, back, legs, abdomen and buttocks a gentle work out, providing aerobic and strength conditioning. It can even help with weight loss.

Come and Try - no need to book, no membership required - just turn up and have fun! These sessions are open to both females and males of all ages. You will receive basic tuition with an instructor in each Olympic style shell (boat). Lessons operate from 10am - 11.30am on the first Sunday of every month, at a cost of $10. Unlike canoes, rowing shells don't roll over, so you can learn to row all year round

Bring a thick pair of socks, t-shirt, bike shorts or track pants and a warm top during the winter.
