PENN AC

Over the years, Penn AC has undergone many changes since its roots on the other side of the Schuylkill as the West Philadelphia Boat Club. Nonetheless, our core traditions have stayed the same. At Penn AC, we have a tradition of winning for over a century. Since the club's first recorded victory in the pair oared cup race of the 1882 Schuylkill Navy Regatta, it has continued to plaster its walls with plaques, pennants, and banners, testimonies to its success. Today, we perpetuate this legacy with both national and international victories. Over the years, Penn AC has given birth to dozens of United States National Team oarsmen. Currently, no fewer than twenty National Team members spent time in either their past or present training and racing for Penn AC...
