• Ages: 8–18 years old
Sarasota Crew was created and launched in the summer of 2002, and since its inception over 2000 youth have participated in its development program. The organization states that many youth participants get accepted into their reach schools, receive athletic scholarships, and earn academic scholarships. Its mission is to utilize competitive rowing to promote strong character, high integrity, positive self-concept, contribution to community, and a healthful lifestyle for youth and adults in Sarasota County and surrounding communities. Sarasota Crew is described as one of the largest rowing programs in the country, with over 135 rowing shells, supporting coach launches, and other equipment, and a vibrantly active parent group supporting the team.
Sarasota Crew has a history of competitive success, including Florida State Championships 15 years running from 2011–2025 and USRowing Southeast Regional Championships 13 years running from 2012–2024. Sarasota Crew members have won USRowing Youth National Championships in 2013, 2018, 2021, 2022, and 2023, and over 40 national champions have been Sarasota Crew members. Within the last five years, well over 100 athletes have participated in the Junior National Team, with 21 representing the USA at the Junior World Championships. In the summer of 2018, six Sarasota Crew youth rowers and the head coach represented the United States at the World Rowing Championships in Racice, Czech Republic, earning gold in the Men's 1x, gold in the Women’s Four, and silver in the Men's 8+. Sarasota Crew alum Clark Dean ’18 and the USA Men's Eight won a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, and the program is described as “Where Olympic dreams are born.”
Sarasota Crew is based at Bay Point at Osprey, home of the Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast, which is a five-acre campus devoted to public access to the waters of Sarasota Bay, with an additional 3.1 acres of land purchased and developed in 2019 to extend reach to the community while preserving and providing permanent public water access. The organization includes disabled, seniors, and corporate rowing teams as part of its community involvement and aims to expand its youth rowing club to all youth of Sarasota County and surrounding communities. An alumni testimonial states that Sarasota Crew “made them the productive, caring and responsible people” they are today.
