Independence Day Regatta

The 2026 IDR College Expo is ON! Friday, July 24, 3 to 6 pm.

Hosted by the Schuylkill Navy of Philadelphia, the 2026 IDR College Expo is a fantastic opportunity for rising seniors and juniors to meet with collegiate coaches from across the country and learn more about the recruiting process. Last year we had more than 50 colleges and more than 70 coaches registered. A complete list of last year’s colleges below.

Register now at RegattaCentral – IDR College Expo. Fee is $5 for athletes and $250/college or university.

Parents are welcome to watch some exciting Independence Day Regatta racing in the shade of the nearby finish line grandstands while their athlete visits the coaches. Sorry, but no parents will be permitted in the College Expo tent.

Please note that all athletes attending the IDR College Expo must check-in at the registration table to receive their credentials. Due to NCAA rules, only rising seniors and juniors who have completed racing for the day will be allowed to visit the College Expo. Juniors will be able to talk to D2 & D3 coaches; seniors can talk to all 3 Divisions. 

Register now. We look forward to seeing you on July 24 at the Independence Day Regatta.
