Rowing at Indiana is a great opportunity to extend a competitive athletic career beyond high school. This year we are looking to invite nearly 60 freshmen to join the Rowing Club at Indiana University. Most of our new rowers will have no prior rowing experience. Athletes who excelled in endurance or team sports in high school can easily transfer that athleticism to rowing. The best rowers are usually tall, strong, and have great stamina; but hard work and dedicated training are the most important elements to make a good rower.
As an Indiana University student-athlete, classes and GPA are just as important as rowing. The fall practices are short and take place in the afternoons after classes, and practice times work around your class schedule.

Rowing is a year round sport, and includes racing in the fall and spring. Fall racing events are regional and offer a great way to gauge your ability against other top crews. The spring racing schedule includes several championship races that take place across the nation. As a first-year rower, you will be competing against other first-year oarsmen. At the 2026 ACRA National Championship regatta Indiana won a medal in the Women's Novice 4, and the Men's Novice 4 finished 7th.
