Clemson has a women’s rowing NCAA Division I team (going to the NCAA championships again this year, finished 2nd in the ACC, varsity 8 was named ACC Crew of the year). I know a lot of freshman that walked on so that is always a possibility. If you are looking to row competitively, here are the coaches emails for the clemson rowing team: [Clemson University Official Athletic Site - Women’s Rowing](http://clemsontigers.cstv.com/sports/w-rowing/rowing_meet-staff.html) as well as a recruiting/interest form: http://clemsontigers.cstv.com/sports/w-rowing/spec-rel/rowing-questionnaire.html

Also, Clemson has a club crew team and that seems to be a well run club team. Here’s the website (for guys and girls): [Clemson Crew - Home](http://www.clemsonrowingclub.com/)

I’d definitely look at Clemson if you’re looking at a crew/rowing program. We’re right on Lake Hartwell and have a great boathouse facility and the weather is pretty warm most of the year so it’s a great place to be (compared to the freezing north). This spring break, Purdue, BU, Alabama, Marist, Syracuse and Indiana came to Clemson to practice (they swarmed our dining halls to eat haha)

I know a lot of people on both the NCAA varsity as well as club teams so if this sounds like something you’re interested in, let me know if you have any questions and I can direct them to them or give you their email so you can ask them some questions.

Keep thinking of things to add on but club crew practice is 2 hours everyday in the afternoon, women’s varsity crew practices in the morning at 6 AM as well as in the afternoon so its a big committment but well worth it if you love rowing competitively!
