Other Affiliations

The Club has a long-standing relationship with Washington-Lee High School in Arlington, Virginia, whose crew members train out of the Potomac boathouse. The alumni, friends, and boosters also have a Website for W-L Crew.

Half a mile downstream from PBC is Thompson's Boat Center, the only other D.C.-sited rowing facility on the Potomac River. Thompson's is home to a large number of high school and university crews, and also runs its own sweep and sculling programs.

Next door to the Potomac boathouse is the similar-vintage Washington Canoe Club, the area's largest group of canoeists and kayakers. PBC maintains a friendly relationship with WCC, rooted in common interests in protecting recreational use of local waterways, including the Potomac River and C&O Canal.
