Welcome to the Rio Salado Rowing Club

Rio Salado is a volunteer, not-for-profit, charitable Arizona corporation with federal 501(c)(3) status. The primary focus of the club is education: teaching rowing to beginning through competitive rowers.

RSRC's boathouse is located on the North side of Tempe Town Lake on the southwest corner of Mill Avenue and Washington/Curry Roads adjacent to the Marquee Theatre and the Rio Salado Operations Center. Parking is available underneath the Loop 202 freeway next to the boat storage area. There are two entrances - Eastbound on Washington just west of the Marquee Theatre, and Southbound on Mill, just south of Washington/Curry. When parking for classes or open row, park under the 202. Do not park over on the Marquee Theater side of the lot or your car may be towed.

RSRC is administered by a nine-member volunteer board of directors that meets monthly. These meetings and the recorded minutes are open to all club members.

New Open Row Schedule With 9 Sessions per Week!

We are extremely pleased and excited to announce our new winter season open row schedule! We have added new open row times and have a total of nine open row times occurring every day of the week! In order to make this work, please access the RSRC Member Forums and post your intention to be present at the row 24 hours prior to the open row time. If you fail to do this we cannot guarantee that a facilitator will be present. As always club boats cannot be taken out without the assigned facilitator present. You can view the open row schedule here.

Free Introduction to Rowing Exposure

Catch the FIRE!

Rio Salado Rowing Club wants to offer hands-on exposure to the sport of rowing on a regular basis.  During each of these events, those curious about the sport will get to see, feel, and operate all parts of the oars and boats, learn proper rowing technique on the rowing machine (rg), and go out for an actual on-water row.  Information about the club, rowing in general,  and class opportunities will be available.  The next Free Introduction to Rowing Exposure will be on Sunday February 21st from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.

Come on down to the boathouse to give it a try!  Wear clothes suitable for a workout and shoes that can get wet.  If you plan on attending, please RSVP here. It will help us to know how many to plan for.  Thanks! Cool
