Nashville Rowing is a 501c3 Non-Profit serving the Greater Nashville (TN) area. Our organization was started in 1986 by a small group of adult rowers looking to build a rowing community here in Music City. Nashville Rowing began its rebranding in 2013 with the addition of Juniors programming, and greatly expanded Adult programming. In the last 7 years, we have seen tremendous growth in membership, equipment, competitiveness, and coaching. Nashville Rowing currently has members from Davidson, Williamson, Wilson, and Sumner counties as well as middle and high school athletes from 35 schools and counting in the greater Nashville Area. Our Juniors program has become an increasingly competitive force at both regional and national levels with boats qualifying to compete at USRowing Youth Nationals each year for the last 6 years. This past year, we sent 3 Juniors boats to Youth Nationals, and our Women’s Youth 4+ earn a bronze medal at Head of the Charles. We have established ourselves as a life-cycle program, where programs feed each other from middle school development all the way up to adult competitive programs. Our goal is to facilitate the gaining of skills that not only allow our participants to compete at the highest level, but that can be transferrable to their lives as members of our greater community.
Nashville and the region continue to grow with more than 1.9 million people living here. Known as Music City USA, the city boasts the highest concentration of music industry in America and is a center for the health care, music, publishing, banking and transportation industries. Nashville is home to award winning restaurants, art galleries, live music venues, major league sports teams, and many outdoor activities, and the region is defined by a diverse economy and low costs of living.
