Men's & Women's Elite Squad

Our elite programs provide a highly competitive environment for talented men and women aiming for selection in national teams at World Championships and Olympic Games.

Selection to compete in NSW state teams for interstate competition is also a high priority of this group. Our elite programs have been developed to complement the objectives of the National Rowing Centre of Excellence (NRCE), which are the basis of Rowing Australia's national selection policy.

Our programs are led by Head Coach Tim McLaren, ensuring that our athletes have the highest level of coaching expertise on hand, in Australia. Tim is internationally regarded as one of the top rowing coaches in the world, having successfully coached crews at every Olympic Games since 1992 - winning Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. Tim is coaching the US Men's team at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
