The next rowing associations developed first in cities under Russian direction and then in those under Austrian and German command, KW 04 Pozna? in 1904 and PTW "Tryton" Pozna? in 1912. There was a very dynamic development of new school clubs in the western part of Poland at that time was where young people had a chance to become familiar with the sport of rowing.

The activity of many rowing clubs in Poland in first decade of twentieth century led to a need of cooperation between the clubs. In 1908, the Regatta Interclub Commission was founded - it was the forerunner of the Polish Rowing Federation. Besides rowing regattas, before World War I, the Regatta Interclub Commission also organized rowing excursions.
There are three stages in the history of rowing in Poland. The first includes the late decades of the nineteenth century and the beginning of World War I. The second is the time between World War I and World War II. It began with the founding of the Polish Rowing Federation in December 1919. In 1939, there were 73 clubs in 41 cities. The strongest clubs came from Warsaw, Bydgoszcz, Pozna? and Kraków.

This period of time represented dynamic growth in rowing tourism, as well as long and standard distance regattas. Of course, the most important thing at that time was participation in the National Championships, European Championships and Olympic Games. The third stage began after World War II. The 1950's were a very important time when a reorganization of sport structures took place.

Many clubs stopped their activities including rowing clubs in schools. From 1945-1999, 64 clubs had been formed, unfortunately, many of them after a few years were forced to end their activity. The year 1995, was the beginning of the Pupils Sport Clubs.
