A.R.S.R. "Skadi", or Algemene Rotterdamse Studenten Roeivereniging "Skadi", is a Dutch student rowing club, located in Rotterdam.
The name "Skadi" refers to the goddess Skaði from Norse mythology, while A.R.S.R. is the abbreviation for "Algemene Rotterdamse Studenten Roeivereniging". Which is Dutch for "Comprehensive Rotterdam Student Rowing Club." Skadi had won The Varsity, the oldest and most prestigious dutch student rowing event, a total of 8 times.

On October 28, 1928, members of the Rotterdamsch Studenten Corps R.S.C. (student society) established the "Rotterdamsche Studenten Roeivereeniging" (R.S.R.V.) Skadi. Initially sharing a location with Royal "Maas" Yacht Club, they got their own place in 1949. From 1952 non-R.S.C. members could join.[1]
In 1962 Skadi became a member of the "Koninklijke Nederlandse Studenten Roeibond". While it incorporated the women's society Phaedra, part of Rotterdamsche Vrouwelijke Studenten Vereeniging R.V.S.V., (est. 1967) before that in 1976 it also merged with A.R.S.R. & Z.Hades (est. 1961) and became "Algemene Rotterdamse Studenten Roeivereniging" (A.R.S.R.) Skadi. Membership of either R.S.C. or R.V.S.V. was no longer mandatory.[1]
