Agecroft Rowing Club

Agecroft Rowing Club

Agecroft Rowing Club currently operates from Salford Quays, England. There has, however, been rowing in Manchester and Salford since 1823, with more than 15 clubs operating during the 1860s. Agecroft R.C. was formed by the gradual merging of these River Irwell-based clubs. Agecroft R.C. was established in Oct 1861 by Ishmael Lythgoe with its first boat house in the grounds of Agecroft Hall at its original location before it was sold and rebuilt by the James River in Virginia, USA. The club regularly competes across the UK at all levels and has a broad membership base, from total beginners and juniors through to semi-professional athletes competing at international level. The club regularly hosts a small boats head race in the winter and supports two Amateur Rowing Association world class start coaches.

The club hosts a wide variety of rowers of different abilities, ambitions and ages, with a large membership and a wide variery of members from juniors through students to veterans. The club has achieved high standards in recent years with finals at Henley Royal Regatta and course record winners at Henley Women's Regatta in the Intermediate 4+.

There has also been great success in the World Class Start squad with wins in the World Under 23s coxless pairs and a Home Countries win for England in the single sculls.
