The development of the Marlow Watersports Hub evolved after a fire that destroyed 60% of the previous 19th century clubhouse and damaged the building beyond economic and structural repair.

With the assistance of Sport England lottery funding, the Club has been able to provide a new, purpose built facility on the banks of the Thames, which includes training and gym facilities.

The Club now has a sustainable future, enhanced by offering the use of the hub to the local community and other local but smaller watersports clubs

The facility now provides community sport opportunities for rowing, adaptive rowing, canoeing, para-canoeing, triathlon, open water swimming as well as a small health and fitness suite. It complements existing local facilities at Bisham Abbey and Caversham.

The partner clubs include Row2Recovery Rowing Club, Marlow Canoe Club, Longridge Canoe Club, and the Henley Open Water Swimming Club.
