Rowing Center of Excellence

Where Strength, Strategy, and Team Spirit Rise on the Water

At Shattuck-St. Mary’s International School Vietnam (SSM Vietnam), we believe that sports are not only a means of physical development but also a powerful tool to cultivate critical thinking, character, and leadership skills. With that vision, we are planning to open the Center of Excellence for Rowing as a new symbol of resilience, discipline, and breakthrough.

SSM Vietnam has partnered with the National Rowing Sports Center in Hai Phong to offer a high level rowing experience.

At SSM Vietnam, students will experience:

  • Modern rowing formats: solo kayak, tandem kayak, and team boats (such as dragon boats or rowing crews)
  • Comprehensive training programs: covering everything from basic techniques to advanced competition strategies
  • Intra- and inter-school tournaments: fostering a competitive spirit and building confidence

In this sport, growth isn’t measured by individual prowess, but by the harmony of the entire team. As you train together, you’ll build lasting friendships and develop resilience, proving that in rowing, there are no superstars—only dedicated teammates supporting one another. Join us to discover the invaluable benefits of collaboration and personal growth on the water!
