UC Davis Rowing is home to National Champions and Olympians that walked on with little or no athletic experience. While being tall has its advantages in the sport, we welcome all that are willing to put forth a good effort to make up the difference, as well as all those interested in joining as coxswains.  Must be academically-eligible and a full-time UC Davis student.

Rowing is a great way to meet new people and make the most of your time at UC Davis. The experiences that you have and the friends that you make will stay with you after graduation and throughout the rest of your life. The skills that you garner at practice can be used every day, in the classroom, and in the "real world." The rowing community extends beyond the boundaries of city, state, and country, connecting people globally. Once you join rowing, you'll constantly meet new people who are rowers (or who know a rower). 

This team focuses on building a close team environment of Davis students with a wide variety of major studies unified through getting strong together to compete at the regional and national level. We encourage a competitive atmosphere and strive for the betterment of every member on the team. This program provides a challenge that pushes limits physically and mentally. With this program comes the chance to travel around the country competing against NCAA DI, DII, DIII, and club teams, while gaining lifelong friends.
