Rowing in Singapore

By the Watta Team · Updated March 2026

Singapore punches above its weight in rowing, with clubs training on MacRitchie Reservoir, Marina Bay, and the Singapore River. The city-state's athletes compete at Asian Games and world championship level, and its fitness-obsessed population has embraced indoor rowing. Concept2 ergs are a staple in gyms, CrossFit boxes, and boutique studios across the island, making Singapore a year-round indoor rowing hub.
