About Us

Agecroft is a friendly but committed club, with opportunities for rowing at all levels including beginning, aspiring international, masters, intermediate and club-level athletes. We have an excellent fleet of boats and a brand-new £1 million clubhouse with its own state-of-the-art gym, which includes 24 Concept 2 rowing machines, free weights, static weight machines and a "Swingulator." 

We are located in Salford Quays, Salford/Manchester, just across from Old Trafford. We row on a 5,000m stretch of the River Irwell and Salford Quays along with Salford University Boat Club. There are virtually no other river users.

Men's and Women's squads follow different weekday land/water training sessions (up to 6 per week), but share water outings from 8.00am on weekends. Each squad has a number of dedicated coaches who work hard develop a training programme that allows flexibility around busy working lives. As a result we see a number of members travel in from further afield so they can access the coaching and facilities on offer. The Beginners squad normally start at 12.00pm on weekends. Our men's first VIII has been in the top 40 at Tideway 17 times in the past 20 years, with the second VIII in the top 100 almost as often, and our Women's Squad have won and progressed to the semi-final at Henley twice in the past two years. Come along and find out why!

Agecroft is currently looking for more coxes and coaches to support the growing club. Both can expect personal development - all coxes are coached, and coaches will have the opportunity to work alongside  the main squad coaches. Land training starts at the beginning of September (from 6pm at the club). Newcomers are welcome to turn up then. Alternatively pop down to the club (Saturday morning around 10am is a good time).
