I'm really into rowing and considering applying to the Coast Guard Academy. Can anyone share details about their rowing team and what the rowing facilities are like there?
Yes, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy does indeed have a rowing team! They have both men's and women's rowing, so regardless of your gender, the opportunity is there.
The teams generally compete against other colleges in the region. This presents an environment of healthy competition where you can further hone your rowing skills in a challenging milieu.
Additionally, the Academy maintains a fleet of shell boats and the necessary rowing equipment for training. So, you can expect to have the necessary resources present to support your rowing passion and growth at the Academy.
Something to note though is that at service academies, all students take on demanding course schedules and military training in addition to their athletic commitments. While rewarding, it's certainly a lot of responsibility, so you'll want to ensure it's a challenge you're ready to take on.
Good luck in your rowing future! The Coast Guard Academy provides a rigorous and fulfilling opportunity both athletically and academically.
