Founded in 1996, Saint Ignatius Chicago Rowing (SICR) is the largest co-ed sport on campus and one of two sports that compete on a national level. It is a two-season sport with over 60 athletes competing each season across three squads: Novice Boys & Girls, Varsity Girls and Varsity Boys. No previous rowing experience is required to join, making the sport accessible to all who commit. Saint Ignatius Rowers have gone on to row & study at preeminent institutions across the country.

SICR is a club sport, operating under the organization of Saint Ignatius Chicago Rowing, Inc., a nonprofit corporation managed by a parent board. We strive to keep membership dues low so that the sport of rowing can be accessible to all Saint Ignatius students. Approximately 25% of our rowers are on a need-based scholarship and pay partial or no fees. To learn more visit: saintignatiuschicagorowing.org.
