Why Austin
A place to train. A place to belong.
Open water, a welcoming rowing community, and the energy of a creative city made Austin a natural home for TRC High Performance.
Texas Rowing Center
Connected by the water
Located beside the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail in downtown Austin, Texas Rowing Center brings rowing, kayaking, and paddleboarding into the heart of the city.
Its rowing community spans juniors through masters, creating a setting where athletes of different ages and experience levels share a connection to the sport.
Lady Bird Lake
Room to find your rhythm
Lady Bird Lake runs through central Austin, offering long stretches of water for sustained rowing sessions.
The lake has drawn school and college crews for winter and spring training. For athletes, time on the water is the foundation for building technique, endurance, and consistency.
Beyond the boathouse
Ambition meets community
Austin’s creative spirit and outdoor culture offer a compelling setting for life beyond training.
Progress in rowing takes years of focused work. A supportive community and a sense of belonging help make that commitment sustainable, on and off the water.
