Student Athletes
Thompson Boat Center
The George Washington University men's and women's crews row on the historic Potomac River.
Headquartered at the Thompson Boat Center, GW rowers are only one-quarter-mile from campus. The boathouse holds the crew's fleet of racing eights, fours and small boats. A carefully designed equipment turnover plan assures that the student-athletes are racing in the latest top-of-the-line equipment.
GW has a four-lane fully buoyed racecourse for its 2,000-meter spring home races. GW hosts several home regattas during the year, but the largest is the annual GW Invitational Crew Classic. Large crowds often line the boardwalk at Washington Harbour and the waterfront park during the regattas.
George Washington University Rowing also has access to a number of on campus training facilities. Charles E. Smith Athletic Center is home to the team's strength training facilities and other cross training equipment. The team's rowing ergometers are kept nearby in the state-of-the-art Lerner Health and Wellness Center.
