Penn AC Wins Barnes Trophy at 2008 Club National Championships - above Men's Intermediate 8 Champions!!!

Program Summary

Penn A.C., the past, present, and future home of many US National team members, provides ambitious collegiate and junior athletes with competitive programs that will take their rowing both on and off the water to the next level. Throughout the years, Penn A.C. has continued to develop its tradition of winning and looks to continue it every summer by complementing the successes of its elite and masters programs with seasonal programs for collegiate and junior rowers.

These programs allow athletes to become a part of Penn A.C.'s traditions as they row and train out of the boathouse for the entire summer and ultimately compete in the same Penn A.C. colors as those in the elite program. Under the supervision of hired coaches, athletes from around the country form a new team that will compete at all of the major summer regattas including Club Nationals, Schuylkill Navy Day, and Canadian Henley. Rowing on the historic Schuylkill, athletes will gain new insight into rowing as they enter a new training program that is both physically and technically intensive.

Whether you are looking to move from the JV boat to the Varsity or chasing a National Team dream, Penn A.C. provides a summer program that will assuredly launch your rowing to the next level. Become a member of one of our nation's oldest and most successful boathouses.
