ROWING THE INTERCOASTAL
Since 1999
Who We Are
Great Bridge Crew Club, a proud member of USRowing and part of the Chesapeake community for over 25 years, has been rowing the Intracoastal Waterway since 1999. Open year-round to students in grades 7-12, our program is committed to developing young leaders in a safe, challenging, and supportive community through the sport of rowing.
​
No prior experience is required - just a strong work ethic and team-first mindset. Our athletes are held to the highest standards of sportsmanship, academic responsibility, and character.
FALL
During the Fall season, our rowers focus on refining their technique and teamwork while building strong connections with their coaches and crewmates. They test their progress in head races - long-distance events in which boats race against the clock over a set course - hosted in rowing communities such as Norfolk, Elizabeth City, Williamsburg, High Point, and beyond.
Great Bridge Crew is entirely self-funded through rower dues, fundraising events, and generous donations, which cover the costs of essential equipment, maintenance, boathouse rental, transportation, and uniforms, helping to keep our athletes on the water and competitive at both state and national levels. We receive no financial support from Chesapeake Public Schools. Great Bridge Crew Club is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
