It has a long tradition of success, members of the rowing club VK Gusar won numerous Olympic and World Championship medals.[1]

History

The Club was founded in 1914. The first Gusar "Rowing Home" was near Split's City Port, under the slopes of the Katalinića brig. Later, Gusar moved to a new Home, in the part of the city called Matejuška (in the City Port itself). Several years later, an auxiliary one was made in the city quarter Spinut.

In 1974, the facility in Matejuška was sold, and the Club moved to the Home in Spinut.
