Las Vegas’ Newest Competitive Sport

he Lake Las Vegas Rowing Club (LLVRC) is offering
TSummer Rowing Junior Camps for teens this summer as
well as other programs including various adult groups from
beginner to master levels. The newest competitive sport in
Nevada provides great fitness and team-building opportunities
as well as fun on the 320-acre private lake at the Lake Las Vegas
master planned community.
Called the “ultimate team sport” because participants must
move together to properly advance the boat, rowing is one of
the fastest growing sports in the country. Prior to the Lake Las
Vegas Rowing Club’s formation last year, Las Vegas had been
the only metropolitan area among the top 25 populated areas
without a rowing program.
The LLVRC was established to promote the sport of amateur
rowing and educate and train residents—particularly youth—
throughout the Las Vegas Valley. The LLVRC was founded by
nine local ex-rowers and rowing enthusiasts. It is a 501(c) (3)
nonprofit corporation. The LLVRC works closely with and is
supported by the Lake Las Vegas Master Association, Lake Las
Vegas Marina, and Nevada State College.
