History

Trafford Rowing Club has been rowing on the Bridgewater canal since 1957.

​

Trafford Rowing Club arose from the ashes, literally, of Metrovic Rowing Club whose clubhouse at Dane Road was destroyed by a fire.  Trafford Council offered the club a new home at Walton Road Sports Centre. In the early days the club only had four boats and had ceased to race competitively. 

Through the dedication of a steady succession of amazing people Trafford Rowing Club has grown to 180+ members from the ages of 11 to 80.
