Welcome to the DMRC!

The Des Moines Rowing Club (DMRC) is a non-profit corporation created to promote the sport of rowing in the Central Iowa area. The club was founded in 1983 and hosted its first regatta that year. It now consists of around 200 members. Though most members live in the Des Moines metropolitan area, the club does include rowers from Ames, Indianola, Marshalltown and other surrounding communities.
