Collegiate Rowing is a competitive sport and attracts many athletes who often have no rowing background.
Students enjoy the idea of expanding their own physical and mental limits.
They also enjoy the camaraderie and support of the team atmosphere. Student-athletes have succeeded at rowing not just here at Lafayette, but all over the country. The structured training environment allows students to be committed to achieving their team and academic goals. Rowers learn time management, allowing balance between academic, athletic, and social interests. In rowing, individual athletic efforts are combined to make the fastest boats possible.
