The Loyola Academy Rowing Association was established to provide an opportunity for Loyola Academy students to learn the challenge of establishing a goal and achieving the desired results through the challenge of rowing. The Association provides a structured venue that gives rowers the opportunity to experience and learn the techniques of rowing, to train vigorously, and to apply the lessons of training and competition through the spirit of cooperation and teamwork.
