Welcome To UVM Crew!
The University of Vermont Crew team dates back to 1984 when several former high school rowers took the initiative to form the team, which now compromises of a men's and a women's team, each with their own novice and varsity divisions. With a total roster sometimes reaching over 100 members, it is one of the largest club teams both at UVM and throughout the region. We train primarily on the Lamoille River in nearby Milton, a small town a few miles outside of Burlington. However, in the later months of the fall through the early spring our focus switches primarily to fitness training due to the river's freeze and potential dangers of the cold weather.
The team, while having only club status at UVM, competes against a variety of both club and varsity-level schools. All of our members train and compete throughout the fall and spring season in order to race at some of the biggest races in the country, including the Head of the Charles regatta, the New England Rowing Championships and the Dad Vails Regatta. In order to be competitive in the early spring races we also go an a yearly trip south over spring break in order to get much-needed time on the water while the winter weather of Vermont prevents it.
