The Alliance Rowing Club (ARC) of Illinois aspires to be a leading advocate for the advancement of rowing for youth and adults.

ARC was founded in 2012 to deliver a complete club program in the north shore Chicagoland communities. Our program provides grass-roots development for all ages and levels: high school & adult recreational rowing as well as competitive opportunities.

ARC is dedicated to the education and promotion of every aspect of the challenging and life-long endeavor known as crew. We believe the sport of rowing can be instrumental in fostering lifelong personal wellness and in developing positive character traits which yield successful pursuits in academics, the workplace, and interpersonal relationships
