Kingston Rowing Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kingston Rowing Club (KRC) is an amateur rowing club, based in England, founded in 1858.
The club is one of the world's oldest and most successful amateur rowing clubs. Based on the River Thames at Kingston upon Thames on the outskirts of Greater London in southern England between Kingston Bridge and Teddington Lock, KRC rowers enjoy one of the longest and calmest stretches of rowing water in the UK.
The club caters for all levels, demonstrated by both a thriving Novice Squad and social events calendar, through to medallists in the last two Olympic Games. Kingston have produced a significant list of international level oarsmen throughout its history and has regularly won events at Henley Royal Regatta through the years.
The club also has a growing Juniors squad, developed under the Project Oarsome initiative to introduce younger rowers to the club, and perhaps create olympians in years to come.
Kingston Rowing Club is a founding member of the Remenham Club.
