Los Gatos Rowing Club

The Los Gatos Rowing Club was started in 1979 to provide what was then mostly an eastern U.S. sport, to the kids in the Santa Clara Valley.

Through the efforts of a highly motivated group of parents, coaches, and a huge number of new masters members, the boathouse was rebuilt on Lexington Reservoir.

Without missing a single season, this group built a temporary boathouse of storage containers while they rushed about acquiring loans, grants and donations.

Some novice rowers start early with the Autumn introductory conditioning program, held September through December.

Recently, the event location has changed to Oak Ridge, Tennessee[2] with the 2014 championship to be held in Gold River, California.

The women's and men's competitive coached programs also meet in the early mornings and is for those who have some years of rowing experience.
