Mrs Daniell said the club had revived the sport of dragon boating in Wairarapa and before the algae bloom problem became entrenched its February regattas were hugely popular public events.
The club was announced as the Sports Club of the Year at the TA 2014 Wairarapa Sports Awards last night.
"We recognise the complex nature of the issue," she said.
The club has identified the non-operation of the turbidity gates from the Ruamahanga River as being one of the issues that needs fixing. Silt laden with nutrients flows into the lake, encouraging algae growth.
"The reality is the gates are less than adequate to control the flow and blooms often happen after floods," Mrs Daniell said.
The club recognises that not one single action would solve the problem but a combinations of actions could.
Ms Kingford said whereas having some species of waterfowl on the lake was accepted the proliferation of Canada geese was not.
The huge volume of geese droppings polluted the lake and shore, adding further nutrients that aided the algae blooms.
Councillor David Holmes told the meeting the Canada geese are on "the hit list" but no action to cull them will be taken until November or December.
He said Greater Wellington Regional Council would be taking care of reducing the geese population.
