Recruiting & Walk-Ons

No rowing experience? No problem.

Wisconsin Rowing teaches the sport from the ground up. Walk-on athletes train together, learn technique, build strength, and develop into competitive racers while balancing academics and college life.

Rowing is the ultimate team sport — built on trust, discipline, and shared effort. Many of our athletes began exactly where you are now.
