Dominant all-around single-sculler: Beyond world championships and Olympics, Zeidler has also claimed prestigious wins at the Diamond Challenge Sculls and swept major World Rowing Cups, underlining his consistency across events and seasons.

Resilience and rapid rise: A former competitive swimmer who switched to rowing in 2016 — within a few years he rose to the very top of the sport, showing exceptional talent, adaptability, and drive.

Inspiration & legacy-building: With Olympic gold, multiple world titles, and a track record of excellence, Zeidler isn’t just a champion — he’s a standard-setter, inspiring the next generation of rowers and raising the bar for single-scull performance worldwide.

Donate to the Boathouse Fund

NPBRC’s Capital Campaign to build a world-class rowing center in northern Palm Beach County is underway, and we need your help to bring this vision to fruition. This rowing center will support NPBRC’s thriving youth and adult athletic programs and allow us to expand programs and services to a broader range of citizens. Your investment will support an organization with a proven track record of delivering rowing programs that teach life skills to kids and promote physical fitness to all ages and abilities, with a special emphasis on youth development and outreach to economically disadvantaged groups, disabled athletes, and wounded veterans. “The Boathouse” will become the centerpiece of Bert Winters Park and will allow NPBRC to expand programs and services to a broader range of citizens.

Opportunity to Grow
  • The North Palm Beach Rowing Club has a lease agreement with Palm Beach County that allows it to operate out of Bert Winters Park in Juno Beach, Florida. The club has been based there since its inception in 2007.
  • Youth rowing is growing rapidly in Palm Beach County, and NPBRC’s programs now need a permanent, safe, and secure new home.
  • Because Palm Beach County has forged a new agreement with NPBRC, we are required to raise $4 million for land improvements with greater community access to secure their lease for up to 50 years.
  • The club has formed a design and construction committee and has launched a fundraising campaign. The Build the Boathouse campaign is underway!
