About us

Since 1957, Beach Crew has carried the rowing tradition of Long Beach State across the waters of the historic Marine Stadium, home to past and future Olympic competition. What began as a student-driven team has grown into a legacy of champions, Olympians, and lifelong friendships.

Today, we row as a proud non-scholarship club, competing head-to-head with varsity programs nationwide—powered by grit, teamwork, and passion for the sport. For new students, Beach Crew offers the chance to learn, compete, and join a family that lasts beyond graduation. For alumni and supporters, it’s a tradition worth sustaining as we look ahead to rowing’s return to Long Beach in the 2028 Olympics.

Marine Stadium Home of the 2028 Olympics!

Built for the 1932 Olympic Games, Marine Stadium has long stood as a landmark of rowing excellence. Nearly a century later, this historic course will once again host the Olympic Games in 2028, connecting generations of athletes through the same waters. For Long Beach State University Rowing, this moment carries special meaning. LBSU rowers train and compete at Marine Stadium, forging a direct link between the program, Olympic history, and the future of the sport. The return of the Olympics to Marine Stadium is a rare honor and a point of pride for the entire Long Beach rowing community.
