About Us

Lafayette Crew is a club sport at Lafayette College, located in Easton, Pennsylvania. Our boathouse is located on the Lehigh River, about a mile from Lafayette’s Campus. The team competes during both the spring and fall seasons on rivers throughout the Northeast, including the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, PA, the Cooper River in Camden, NJ, and Mercer Lake near Princeton, NJ.

​

Practice

Practice is held on the Lehigh River for both our fall and spring seasons. The team practices Monday through Friday from 4 to 6 PM. During the winter when river practice is not possible, team members train at Kirby Sports Center on the college campus, utilizing weight-training equipment as well as an entire room dedicated to ergometers. How many days a week you train is up to you! However, if you are planning on competing during the season it is encouraged that you attend practice most days.

 

Spring Break

​

In the past, the team has travelled together to rowing center's in Florida and the location of our National Championships, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Practices are held twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Over the week, the team not only works on their fitness and rowing technique, but also spend time exploring the area and bonding.

 

Regattas

Lafayette Crew competes during both the fall and spring seasons. In the fall, we typically compete in the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta (Philadelphia, PA). The team also competes at the Frostbite Regatta, a sprint race held on the Cooper River in Camden, NJ. In the spring, we typically compete at the Murphy Cup Regatta (Philadelphia, PA), Knecht Cup (Camden, NJ), River Cup (Allentown, PA), the Dad Vail Regatta (Philadelphia, PA), and the American Collegiate Rowing Association National Championships (Oak Ridge, TN).

 

Coxswains

Aside from rowers, Lafayette Crew is always looking for more coxswains. Rowers mean very little without great coxswains. If you’re enthusiastic and have a passion for motivation, try coxing! Coxswains are frequently termed the “mind of the boat” for good reason: they steer the boat and give valuable commands to the rowers. On and off the water, coxswains carry with them an unmatched requirement of respect and responsibility.
