Takapuna Grammar School Rowing Club is a student rowing club in Bayswater, on Auckland's North Shore, at 17 Marine Terrace. It was formed in 1983, with early help from West End Rowing Club. The club says its policy is that all who want to row can row, and it welcomes students of a wide range of abilities. Its website names it as the 2025 Auckland Rowing Club of the Year, and calls it the top-performing co-educational school rowing club in the North Island. The club is celebrating its 87th anniversary this year. Its training includes strength and conditioning, and rowers train on the erg as well as on the water.
The club's website asks parents to support their crews, which it says is essential to the club's work. It has four plastic eights and five plastic fours, which the club says get heavy use. Its early years were run with parent support and fundraising, and a former head coach and New Zealand rowing great has written the club's history. Students row in the club's blue and gold. Our pick in Bayswater for a student rowing club with a long history.
