Lake Houston Rowing Club
Early mornings out on Lake Houston offer a view of beautiful sunrises, sounds of fishing lines zipping through the air, the feel of the water as it splashes up against the edge of the dock…and on most days, you’ll also catch members of the Lake Houston Rowing teams pulling their way across the waves, working towards their next regatta prize.
The club is spearheaded by rowing guru and coach Daniel Udeanu. He has an awesome philosophy - EVERYBODY CAN ROW! There’s absolutely no experience or fitness level required. The programs offered right now include: Home-Schoolers, High-Schoolers and Adults.
The next regatta is the Space City Sprints race coming up this weekend (4/8/17) down in Clear Lake if you’d like to cheer on the home teams. For info on the race, visit:

There will be more regattas over the next couple months, including the Texas Championships in two weeks. Their schedule can be seen here if you’d like to follow along:

To be honest, I was uber-impressed with the group that was practicing when I went out there the other day. They were flat out getting after it across the water, and they really seemed to enjoy it…Pushing themselves and each other. And besides being a great workout, I was reminded by a parent that there is a vast opportunity for them come scholarship time.
If you’re wanting to check it out for yourself (even if you’re not sure if rowing is for you), there are FREE introductory sessions held every Saturday at 8 am (weather permitting). Just contact Coach ahead of time to set it up. (201)803-7454 or
