The Delftsche Studenten Roei Vereeniging "Laga" (Dutch for Delft student rowing club "Laga") is a student rowing club in the Netherlands. It is open to students from Delft and its environs. Laga was founded in 1876 as a subsidiary association of the Delftsch Studenten Corps, a student fraternity in Delft, and is the second oldest student rowing club in the country, after K.S.R.V. Njord. The club has a monumental boat house on the river Schie.

Rowing is the act of propelling a boat using the motion of oars in the water by displacing water to propel the boat forward. Rowing and paddling are similar but the difference is that rowing requires oars to have a mechanical connection with the boat, while paddles are hand-held and have no mechanical connection.

The Netherlands is a country located mainly in Northwestern Europe.

Together with three island territories in the Caribbean Sea—Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba— it forms a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The official language is Dutch, but a secondary official language in the province of Friesland is West Frisian.
