Rowing takes place at the John O'Gaunt Boat House on the River Lune, where there is 2300m of good water to row on.

LRGS BC crews attend Head Races and Regattas throughout the year, with selected crews aiming for the National Schools Regatta in May and the National Rowing Championships in July.

The Club has a history of winning regional events and National medals in fours and pairs. In 2006 the two LRGSBC rowers won the Championship Pairs Cup at the National Schools Regatta and went on to represent the GB Junior team.

Boys start rowing in the Third Year as a games option. The majority of the first year is spent learning the basic stroke in a coxed quad (and single scull in the summer term) on a Thursday games afternoon. A series of internal Red Rose time trials is held throughout the winter months in conjunction with John O'Gaunt RC and Lancaster University BC to encourage training and develop racing skills. Once a racing standard has been reached, and committment ensured, boys are entered for local and national competitions at J15, J16 and J18 levels.
