Simon Fraser University Rowing Club - SFU Rowing Run by a student lead executive board, in addition to their studies and training.

The Simon Fraser University Rowing Club has the objective to support, promote, and advance the sport of rowing within both the university and surrounding community. Simon Fraser University Rowing Club strives to be competitive with the best collegiate rowing crews in North America. As a club run team built on the shoulders of our alumni, our goal is to push the limits of the present so it can lead us into a strong future and present a lasting legacy for future athletes. We wake up every morning with a desire to grind out a sweat with our crew, teammates, and family while using rowing as a tool to build character and tenacity in every athlete.

Today, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, recognizes the tragic legacy of residential schools, the missing children, the families left behind and the Survivors of these institutions.

As a rowing community, we understand that the water we train on is sacred and holds deep cultural significance. We commit to learning from and respecting Indigenous knowledge, stories, and traditions connected to these waters and the waters we race on around Canada.

Continuing National Coaches Week with a special shoutout to the ultimate SFU Rowing power couple: Kristin & Mark Henry! 💪🚣‍♀️🚣‍♂️

As our Head Coach and Assistant Coach, Kristin and Mark bring a whole lot more than coaching to our program. Kristin leads both our varsity and novice crews with knowledge, energy, and a genuine commitment to helping our athletes grow on and off the water. Mark is our resident equipment wizard, keeping our boats, oars, and everything in between running smoothly (and somehow always knowing what needs fixing 🔧).

Together, they’ve played a huge role in building and supporting SFU Rowing, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything they do for our athletes and our club.

Thank you, Kristin & Mark, for being the best coaching power couple around! ❤️

We’re starting off National Coaches Week by saying a huge thank you to Novice Coach Halle Murphy! 🍁🚣‍♀️

For the past two years, Halle has been an incredible part of the SFU Rowing community, helping introduce new athletes to the sport and building a strong foundation for their rowing journeys. Her patience, energy, and dedication have made a lasting impact on so many of our rowers, both on and off the water.

As Halle heads into a new adventure this fall, we’re so grateful for everything she has given to this program. Thank you, Halle, for two amazing years and for helping shape the next generation of SFU Rowers! ❤️

We’ll miss you around the boathouse and wish you all the best in what’s next! 🫶
