Proteus-eretes

DSR (Delftse Studenten Roeivereniging - Delft Student Rowingclub) Proteus-Eretes is the largest student rowing club in Delft, with more than 500 members. Proteus-Eretes has a fleet of 111 rowing boats, which is the largest number of boats owned by a student rowingclub in The Netherlands.

Around 60 members of Proteus-Eretes are racerowers, who train to reach a worldclass level of rowing and start competing at a high level instantly. The other members are more recreative rowers, but have also got the opportunity to compete in a competitive environment. With competitions every weekend.

Proteus-Eretes is a result of a fusion between two student rowingclubs, VRV Proteus and DSR Eretes. VRV (Virgilius Roei Vereniging). Proteus was founded in 1947 by Gerrit Athmer and was at first a rowing club only for members of Sanctus Virgilius. Other students were not granted membership of Proteus. In 1966 DSR Eretes was founded as a student rowingclub open to all students. DSR Eretes was growing at a very fast rate whereas Proteus was struggling to survive. Because of problems with Sanctus Virgilius and a shortage of new members, Proteus became an open rowingclub in 1969. In 1970 a fusion with Eretes followed, forming DSR Proteus-Eretes.
