While Canberra Rowing Club is only 50 years old and much younger than rowing clubs in Australia’s other capital cities a number of our athletes have represented Australia at the highest level, including eighteen at the Olympic level.
We also have a number of life members who have been recognised for their stellar contribution to our club over many years.
