Find your seat on the water.
Louisville Adaptive Rowing (LAR) provides specialized equipment and expert coaching for athletes with physical, visual, and cognitive disabilities. For over 30 years, we have been a fixture on the Ohio River, dedicated to the belief that the water belongs to everyone.
Whether you are a seasoned athlete looking for a competitive edge or a first-time rower seeking the peace of the river, we have a place for you. Our community is built on the strength of our rowers and the dedication of our volunteers, working together to break down barriers and enjoy the freedom of the sport.
Join us this season and become part of our long-standing tradition of excellence, inclusion, and community on the water.
