They are lean, strong and confident. They love their rowing and their fellow crew mates and they live to compete. This is what it means to a member of High Point Rowing Club and the Spring season is the perfect time to join the Youth Crew.

WOW!
Rowing is a wonderful team sport and recreational activity that is enjoyed by both girls and boys for its zen-like movement and the healthy competitive nature of the activity. High Point Rowing Club is first and foremost a scholastic rowing program consisting primarily of students from the Triad area in North Carolina.
Rowing is now the fastest growing sport in the Triad with many students switching from other sports such as swimming, cross country, and soccer. High Point Rowing Club is the only youth program in the Triad and has received numerous accolades recently in the local media such as the Greensboro News & Record and High Point Enterprise:
Jeri Rowe – Rowing a new way of life in the South
Greer Smith – Rowers make a big splash at Oak Hollow Lake
