Welcome to the Des Moines Rowing Club!

The DMRC is a non-​profit cor­po­ra­tion cre­ated to pro­mote the sport of row­ing in the Central Iowa area. The club was founded in 1983 and hosted its first regatta that same year. Since that, it has grown to around 200 mem­bers. Though most of the mem­bers live in the Des Moines met­ro­pol­i­tan area, the club does include row­ers from Ames, Indianola, Marshalltown and other sur­round­ing communities.

If you are new here, please take a moment to learn more about our club and our row­ing pro­grams.
