History

The club was founded on July 5, 1951, by a group of young army officers and former rowers. The club was based on Ada Ciganlija, where it is to this day. The club's facilities were built by German prisoners of war. The facility, built from concrete, is often threatened by flooding, the worst case being in 1981 when the level of water inside reached 20 cm (8 in).
