Loughborough Boat Club has a proud history that dates back to the 1880s. Previously known as the Loughborough Town Boating Club, the club initially owned two four-oared boats that were purchased from the Loughborough Grammar School. The club's headquarters were established on Derby Road, and Mr. Frank White served as the first president, with Mr.

Chas Woolley as the first secretary. Over the years, the club grew rapidly, acquiring new boats and expanding its membership.

The club's dress code in the late 1800s featured a white jersey and trousers, accompanied by a dark blue coat. The logo of the borough arms was adopted as the club badge in 1892, with dark blue and old gold becoming the club colours. Loughborough Boat Club has been fortunate to have members who have held prominent positions in the local public life, and the club has also organised sailing races as part of their regatta.

Loughborough Boat Club embraces its rich history while looking towards a future filled with passion for rowing and fostering a supportive community for all members.
