Boathouse Row:

The Schuylkill Navy

The Schuylkill Navy is the country’s first amateur organization for sports. It is made up of the rowing clubs of Boathouse Row and oversees issues of mutual concern to the clubs, including dredging, regattas, and the Row’s relationship with Philadelphia and its citizens. Also found here are water conditions, links to the clubs, and learn-to-row opportunities.  (http://www.boathouserow.org)

Philadelphia City Rowing

The non-profit strives to give Philadelphia public and charter school students a way to get on the river while also empowering them in ways that often translate into the rest of their lives.  (http://www.philadelphiacityrowing.org)

Sedgeley

Sedgeley is not a rowing club but a historic women’s social club which anchors the upriver end of Boathouse Row. (http://www.sedgeleyclub.org)
