Youth Rowing
Waco Rowing Center provides a safe, caring team community with a goal to send our rowers to college on scholarship. We provide Waco-area students with access to training, high end rowing equipment, as well as academic and social-emotional support. We’ve brought some of the best rowing coaches in the nation to Waco, where they lead our youth team in learning the sport of rowing. We currently work with La Vega ISD and Connelly ISD to provide transportation and opportunities for students to get involved with the Waco Rowing Center.
Our training center and annual regatta support our programming and student-athletes, as well as donations and partnerships from our Waco community and beyond. Find out how you can volunteer, donate, or join the team by contacting us!

Youth Swim Lessons
Along with rowing, Waco Rowing Center provides essential swimming and water safety skills lessons to toddlers, elementary, and middle school youth in Waco. Not only is swimming a critical life skill, but it’s necessary for athletes interested learning to row. Find out more and contact us to get involved.
Regattas
Waco has a blend of racing venues that is unique in the region.
The Brazos River offers miles of rowable water for both racing and training. The shoreside parks and downtown location make this an ideal setting for long distance “Head” races.
Nearby Tradinghouse Creek Reservoir is equipped with a 10-lane, 2,000 meter, fully buoyed sprint race course. Housed at McLennan County Park, the venue offers the only championship race course in the state of Texas, and is well-suited to host championship-level racing.
