Strathclyde Park Rowing Club Facilities

We train on Strathclyde Loch, the 2km, 8 lane, purpose built course which is used for Scotland’s two main multi lane regattas – Scottish Rowing Spring Regatta in April and the Scottish Championships in June. The course was built for the Commonwealth Games in 1986 and has seen many national and international competitions since then.

The Club own many different boast including 14 Single Sculls, 8 Doubles, 7 Quads/Fours and an Eight. We have two coaching launches and can also book other coaching boats if required.

The Scottish Rowing Centre is home to Scotland’s only indoor Rowing Tank and the club’s 11 rowing machines (ergometers) are housed there. The rowing tank is currently out of commission but, when fixed the club will be able again to hire it allowing members to work on technique when weather prevents access to the Loch. The indoor tank also allows new members and beginners to learn technique and gain a more realistic idea of rowing technique without actually being on the water.
