Austin Rowing Club




Austin Rowing Club has a very long history, even if it was not continuous. The founders of today’s Austin Rowing Club knew of the early 19th century group and some of that history. Austin Rowing Club was first established in 1899 with 43 charter members and a mission to “promote all aquatic sports” in Austin. The club was founded by the same people who in 1893, 1894 and 1895 hosted the International Regattas in Austin, Texas on Lake McDonald. The principal person of this group was John Crotty. Crotty chose the name “Austin Rowing Club” in 1899, when the club finally incorporated and became a legal entity. Mr. Crotty was well respected both in rowing and in business, not just in Austin, but in the State of Texas.
