Westminster School Boat Club is a rowing club based on the River Thames at the Embankment, Putney, London.
The club is reputedly the oldest rowing club in the world.[ citation needed ] Anecdotal evidence exists for rowing at Westminster in the 18th century and official records date back to the 'Water Ledger' of 1813. [1] [ failed verification ] Pink was chosen by Westminster as the School's colour for the rowing match against Eton College of 4 May 1837; before this race, both schools wore blue. [2]
Crews containing boys and girls who attend, or are affiliated to, Westminster School are formed to race at all levels of school rowing. [3] The boat house is also that of the Elizabethan Boat Club, made up of Old Westminsters, who compete in major domestic and international races.
