The women’s varsity rowing program trains out of the Dammrich Rowing Center in nearby Skokie, Ill., located on the North Shore Channel (part of the Chicago River system). The river offers a little bit of wilderness right in the midst of the Chicago metropolitan area.
The facility features:
-
indoor rowing tanks
-
an exercise and ergometer training room
-
a 90-foot launch along the North Shore Channel
-
boat storage
The women's rowing program hosts two regattas at this site:
-
The North Shore Channel Challenge each fall, attracting over 200 competitors
-
An annual home regatta in the spring
