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.

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.
