The Fort Worth Rowing Club (FWRC) became a member organization of the United States Rowing Association (USRA) in January 1991. The FWRC joins fellow clubs in Austin, Dallas, Houston, The Woodlands, Oklahoma City, and Tulsa (just to name a few close by) in promoting rowing for fun and sport. The USRA provides many vital functions for the member organizations like sanctioning regattas, training judges and coaches, maintaining safety procedures and providing a communications link.

The Fort Worth Rowing Club rows on the Trinity River from the Beach Street boathouse east of downtown Fort Worth. While some members of the rowing club train to participate in masters rowing events in Texas and at the national level, others simply enjoy the beauty and seclusion of the Trinity River. The rowing club promotes rowing for recreation and fitness, and is open to members of all ages. The general purpose of the FWRC is to promote rowing in the Fort Worth area. More specifically, the goals of the club are to establish and/or support: the Boy Scout Rowing program, a FWRC boathouse with equipment, local college/high school rowing programs, and regattas to bring visitors to Fort Worth.

Typically, members from FWRC attend three spring regattas (1,000 meter sprints) and two or three fall headraces (1.5 to 3 miles), plus host the Steer Head Regatta in September, each year.
