The Asheville Rowing Club is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt athletic and social organization dedicated to promoting health, fitness, and fun through the sport of rowing. 2008 Board of Directors The club was founded in the summer of 2001 by a small group of former rowers and outdoor enthusiasts. Dion Sweat led the effort to form the club and served as its first president. The club started with only one 4-man rowing shell and no dock or shelter. Our membership has grown to over 50 members, with active master's, collegiate and junior women's programs rowing year-round. A major step in our development was the construction of our boathouse in 2005 on Lake Julian in southern Buncombe county. Construction was made possible by a broad range of support from individuals, organizations and businesses in the community. Today, the club is rapidly growing and serves a diverse membership of people ranging in ages from 14 to over 70. The club is an organizational member of USRowing, the national governing body of rowing in the United States. Other Information |
