What does it take to be a Rambler Rower?

Curious what Loyola Rowing is all about? We asked our coaches, current rowers, and alumni—and the answers say it all:

Grit.
Teamwork.
Unstoppable commitment.
Lifelong friendships.
And yes—a whole lot of fun.

From early morning launches to post-regatta celebrations, Loyola Rowing is more than just a sport—it’s a community. Come see what makes our team one of the most rewarding (and strongest!) squads on and off the water.

Hit play, get inspired, and maybe even join the crew. Let’s go Ramblers!

GO RAMBLERS!!

Loyola Rowing is more than a team—it’s a family.

Rooted in the support of our coaches, families, and alumni, our community is powered by passion, perseverance, and a shared commitment to each other.

Your generosity fuels every workout—from early morning practices to race day victories—and helps provide scholarships for our most dedicated athletes. Because of you, we continue to train hard, compete fiercely, and grow stronger as a team.
