WELCOME TO ST. LOUIS ROWING CLUB

We are a year-round rowing program for youth and adults in the St. Louis area. Founded in 1875, we are among the most long-established and decorated rowing clubs in the Midwest. Many of our junior athletes are recruited to row on D1 collegiate teams. But here at SLRC, we have boats for people of all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re experienced or new to the sport, there’s room for you on our crew!

“Where is the spiritual value of rowing?… The losing of self entirely to the cooperative effort of the crew as a whole.”

– George Yeoman Pocock

WHY ROW?

Rowing is a great form of exercise that offers numerous physical and mental benefits. Rowing is a low-impact exercise that works multiple muscle groups, including the legs, back, arms, and core, while also providing a cardiovascular workout. Regular rowing can improve strength, endurance, and flexibility, as well as promote weight loss and reduce stress.

Rowing also offers a sense of community and teamwork, making it a great sport for building social connections and a sense of belonging. Overall, rowing is a highly effective and rewarding exercise that can improve both physical and mental health.
