We’re looking forward to hosting our next two Open House Event on Saturday, December 7th 2024 between 12 and 4pm where you and your friends can come down and try rowing for free. During your taster session you will receive 10 mins of instruction on our rowing machines on land before getting into a boat to row on the Yarra River for a further 20 mins!

Under the guidance of our wonderful instructors you will take your first rowing strokes! Learn a new sport in Melbourne and enjoy the mindful, full body, low impact workout. Rowing is for everyone! (aged 18+) You can sign up as an individual or in groups of up to 4! (everyone who wishes to attend must fill out the registration form below).

You can register using the form below and once we’ve confirmed our next Open House Date you can come down to Richmond Rowing Club (7 Boathouse Drive) to receive a free trial session!

When attending our events: please come dressed in close-fitting active wear that you don’t mind potentially getting wet. Please do not wear anything baggy or with open, front facing pockets as that will impede your ability to row. You will be required to wade into ankle deep water so we suggest you wear water shoes, sliders, flip flops or thongs. Hats and sunglasses are highly recommended to help protect from the sun and glare from the water.
