ABOUT US!

Columbia Rowing Club (CRC) was founded in 1998 by Masters rowers (everyone above 21 years) who wanted to row as a club and advance the sport of rowing in the midlands of South Carolina.
 

CRC members have a diverse rowing background from beginners to former national team rowers. Programming runs throughout the year for all levels and we welcome new members frequently through our Learn to Row programs. The club travels to regattas in the southeast during the spring, summer, and fall seasons and has a history of competing at Masters Nationals and World Masters regattas. 

Columbia Rowing Club is a 501(c)3 organization allowing us to accept tax deductible contributions for outreach and other rowing education programs.

The COLUMBIA ROWING CLUB promotes the sport of rowing by providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where athletes and abilities can learn, grow, compete and build lifelong connections through teamwork and excellence.

To be the premier rowing club in Columbia, SC, inspiring excellence, fostering community, and developing rowers while growing the sport of rowing for future generations.
