Looking for your next challenge?

DC National Rowing Club is welcoming new middle and high school athletes (grades 6–12). No rowing experience is necessary—just a willingness to learn, work hard, and be part of a team.

Many of our athletes come from sports like swimming, soccer, basketball, cross country, wrestling, and more before discovering rowing.

Try our high school program free for two weeks and experience what makes rowing such a unique team sport.

📍 Practices at Riley's Lock in Poolesville
