Now we have the Danish rowing clubs on OSM.
rowing clubs on overpass turbo
Most also have pontoons, websites, contact information etc.
This should make it easy to plan rowing trips, and to know where to put you boat when on the water.

Interesting that the common tag is leisure=sports_centre.
I think this was originally meant for a centre offering a wide range of sports activities, rather than the building housing one or two sports, but I know the second meaning is very common. Perhaps we need another tag for places which host multiple sports (e.g., swimming pool, fitness centre, hall for racquet games, basketball or 5-a-side, plus changing facilities and outdoor pitches).
Second question, I recently mapped the Buenos Aires Rowing Club (sic) at Tigre. They have another large place which is clearly more a social than sporting facility. Does this apply to any of your Rowing Clubs, as it most certainly applies to some clubs in the UK.

Most of the clubs do have various activities. For example my club [DSR - Danske Studenters Roklub] (http://www.danskestudentersroklub.dk/) have recreational rowing, competitive rowing, and long-distance tours. We have inrigger rowing, scullers, coastal-boats, kayaks, and kayak polo. There is a fitness centre with weights, a sauna etc. In the winter we have training in ergometers, swimming (although not in the club), badminton, cross-country running, gymnastics, skiing ergomenters, circle training, Brazilian dancing, etc. The club do have a very active social life (I will be celebrating new years eve there), but is certainly is a sporting facility - three members brought back an Olympic medal from London.
So even though the other sports to a large extents is there to support the rowing (swimming for safety, weights to build muscles for rowing, etc) I do think that sports_centre is the most appropriate.
One problem with both sports_centre, pitch, and stadium is that there is not really an enclosed area for the rowing. We row on the water, sharing the water with other boats. On the other hand we do have a club-house and boathouse, locker rooms, sauna, pontoons etc, and we always start and end any activity (except some competitions and tours) at the boathouse. Unlike e.g., running or cycling, we cannot just start anywhere.
