Rowing in Perth

By the Watta Team · Updated March 2026

Perth's rowing community thrives on the Swan River and Canning River, where clubs benefit from Western Australia's mild climate for year-round on-water training. The city's fitness culture is strong, with CrossFit boxes and functional training gyms stocked with Concept2 ergs, and Perth has produced multiple Australian representative rowers.
