Established 1961
Forged on the water.
Carried forward.
Since 1961, LMU rowers have built something larger than a racing program: a community shaped by shared effort, high standards, and the courage to keep moving.
What began as a leading West Coast collegiate program grew through generations of men's and women's crews, Olympic and international competitors, national championships, and countless mornings on Ballona Creek. Today, that history lives in a student-run club determined to compete, grow, and create a place where every athlete can belong.

A tradition
in motion.
LMU men's rowing began in 1961, followed by the women's program in 1976. The crews earned a respected place in collegiate rowing through determined racing on the West Coast and beyond.
Across the decades, Lions have won national titles, represented the United States, reached Olympic and world championship competition, and strengthened the program through every era. Each achievement belongs to a larger story built by teammates, coaches, alumni, and supporters.
