Built From Scratch

IU Rowing Club is a nationally competitive, student ran and funded organization that is committed to introducing the students of Indiana University to the sport of rowing, as well as developing them as people on and off of the water. committed to bringing the sport of rowing to Bloomington and developing our athletes on and off the water.

We as a club have been around since the 1980s, with our most recent reestablishment bringing rowing and its benefits back to campus in 2023. Back then, the club's reiteration began only with a handful of students with hardly any experience and even less rowing equipment. Since then, we as a club have grown rapidly thanks in large part to the support of our friends, family, and the community surrounding us. Today, we are comprised of over 35 highly dedicated athletes that train six days a week and travel across the country to represent Indiana University.

Your Support Makes Our Season

As a club sport, the team receives minimal direct funding from the university and is almost exclusively funded through athlete dues and fundraising. Rowing is traditionally an expensive sport and we are trying to keep it accessible to the IU community so that our boat selection can be based on athlete merit rather than purely financial means.

This spring, we're raising $7,500 to fund our racing season. We appreciate any help you can provide.

Spring Launch Ergathon

Before we hit Lake Lemon for spring racing, our team is coming together for one final push on the indoor rowing machines — rowing one million meters in a single session. Follow along live on Instagram @RowingClubIU.
