A rowing club is a club for people interested in the sport of rowing. Rowing clubs are usually near a body of water, either natural or artificial, that is large enough for maneuvering the rowing boats. Clubs usually have a boathouse with racks to store boats, and a dock or slipway to get them into the water. Many clubs host rowing competitions, known as regattas or head races, and send teams to compete in other regattas and head races.
