Whitemarsh Boat Club at Hines Rowing Center
Whitemarsh Boat Club (WBC) is a Community Rowing Organization dedicated to the advancement of the sport of rowing, located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania.
Â
In 2005, the Club was founded to promote the sport of rowing to new and experienced rowers alike, as it offers programs and rowing opportunities for sixth graders through seasoned adult veterans. Â
WBC leases a portion of the Hines Rowing Center property located at 801 Washington Street in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania.
The WBC sits on the banks of the Schuylkill River, adjacent to four miles of water perfect for rowing, between the Fayette Street Bridge and the Flat Rock Dam to the south. While the southern section of the waters used by WBC is seasonally shared with some resident motor boaters and some fishermen who use the Lower Merion Park boat ramp, the upper three miles of this section are used almost exclusively by rowers.
In addition to the Cavaliers and individual members, several high school and collegiate rowing programs row from the WBC including: Bryn Mawr College, Germantown Academy, Lower Merion High School, Radnor High School (Girls), and Villanova University (Girls). Mount Saint Joseph Academy rows from an adjacent boathouse on the Hines Rowing Center property.
