Louisville Adaptive Rowing

Bringing rowing to all since 1996.

Rowing for all

At LAR, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the joy and benefits of rowing, regardless of ability. Our adaptive rowing program is specifically designed to provide individuals with physical disabilities the chance to participate in this exhilarating sport.

Adaptive rowing, also known as para-rowing, is an inclusive sport that accommodates individuals with a wide range of physical impairments. Through specialized equipment and tailored training techniques, adaptive rowers can enjoy the physical, mental, and social benefits of rowing.

Our team of volunteers create a supportive and welcoming environment where individuals of all abilities can develop their skills, build confidence, and achieve their goals on the water.
