Girls Rowing
For the last 50 years, Girls Rowing at Kent has developed a program that challenges students to be sharp physically and mentally, and to push themselves as individuals and as part of a crew.
Overview
Skill Development & Teamwork
Girls Rowing at Kent emphasizes the fundamentals, dedication, and rowing’s distinct blend of individual performance and reliance on teammates. Rowing is a sport that gives back what an individual invests. No one succeeds in rowing without committing to training and having fun with the sweat equity required.
Leadership & Character Development
In many parts of the world, rowing is considered an elitist sport. At Kent, we aim to make rowing a community sport accessible to everyone. We hope to be a leader in breaking down the entry barriers to broader participation in the sport.
