Established in 1988 by the Georgia Tech Rowing program, St. Andrew Rowing Club is a program dedicated to developing, instructing and training the best youth rowers in the metro Atlanta area. Our rowers excel both as athletes and as individuals. We continue to successfully compete at major Regional and National USRowing championships, which has enabled a number of our rowers to earn scholarships and positions on the most prestigious collegiate rowing teams in the United States. St Andrew Rowing Club also provides athletes new to the sport with opportunities to join its novice and introductory sculling squads, as well as summer learn to row programs.

Since its formation in 1988, Saint Andrew Rowing Club has blossomed from a crew of a founding faithful few to become a highly regarded team of student-athletes.  Our crews are consistently competitive regionally and nationally.

St. Andrew Rowing Club welcomes all athletes regardless of their ability or experience.  If you are committed to attendance and working hard, there is a place for you and a way you can help fulfill our vision - Traditions of Excellence.

Our Mission:

• We build lifetime rowers who enjoy a shared sense of community and spirit of competition.
• We lead the advancement of rowing in the southeast region.
• We utilize the sport of rowing as a tool for mentoring our members on the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, commitment, and excellence.
• We study, teach, and model effective habits through sound training methods (e.g., general fitness and nutrition).
• We challenge ourselves and each other to learn, adapt, and improve; we are constantly striving for peak performance.
• We measure success not by the number of races won, but by how closely we perform to our ultimate potential as individuals, as a boat, as a squad, and as a team.

In everything we do, both on and off the water, we aim to excel, to continue old, and begin new Traditions of Excellence.

Our Core Values:

Excellence - Be your best in all things at all times and be better the next time.

Teamwork - Demonstrate an eagerness to increase the team's potential.

Community - Support the environment that supports us.

Competition - Enjoy the journey of training for and completing each race with no regrets.

Commitment - Choose and pursue individual and team goals, refusing to give up on oneself or one's teammates.

Leadership - Teach and mentor others while being a model for success.

Sportsmanship - Respect for oneself, teammates, coaches, club supporters, and competitors.

St. Andrew Rowing Club is a 501c(3) non-profit organization (EIN 58-2149631) not affiliated any church or religious organization. In 1988, St. Andrew Catholic Church allowed Georgia Tech Rowing to lease a small piece of their beautiful campus along the Chattahoochee River. As a stipulation for doing so,  a few generous Parishioners helped fund and establish the first Junior Rowing program on the Chattahoochee. 40+ years later, we still enjoy a wonderful partnership with both the Georgia Tech Rowing Club and St. Andrew Catholic Church. We are committed to being an excellent steward of the property and area surrounding the river. We continue to fund the club through registration fees and the generosity of our amazing SA Families.
