Founded in 1994, APSMRC has established itself as a leading rowing club, dedicated to providing exceptional rowing experiences for both new and existing members. The club's mission is to foster social cohesion and competitive talent within the rowing community.

Situated on the beautiful Albert Park Lake, APSMRC offers a picturesque setting for rowing enthusiasts. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced rower, APSMRC provides a range of programmes to cater to all skill levels.

The club's Learn to Row (L2R) programme is perfect for those who want to experience the thrill of rowing on Albert Park Lake. During the four 1. 5-hour Sunday sessions, participants will learn the fundamentals of rowing technique on both land and water. The relaxed atmosphere allows for an enjoyable learning experience.

Rowing is a fantastic low-impact full-body workout, and the L2R programme aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the sport.

After completing the L2R programme, participants can choose to continue rowing as either recreational or competitive rowers. APSMRC offers a development squad and free coaching for its members, ensuring ongoing support and skill enhancement opportunities.

The L2R courses are conducted throughout the year, based on interest. Once enough participants show interest, dates are scheduled, and pre-registered individuals will be contacted with further information.

To become a member of APSMRC, individuals who have completed the L2R programme can apply for membership. Membership comes with access to the development squad and free coaching, enabling rowers to further enhance their skills and connect with the rowing community.
