[edit] General
The team's boathouse on the Olentangy River is in the university's Drake Union, a space provided to them by the university. While first-year novice rowers practice here on the river, experienced varsity team members travel to O'Shaughnessy Reservoir, a larger body of water, to practice.
[edit] Competition
The club competes against crews from around the country, including both club teams and funded programs. The club is a founding member of the American Collegiate Rowing Association, and competes in the ACRA national championship regatta on a yearly basis.
