Rowing Changes Lives
At Bainbridge Island Rowing, we believe that rowing is more than just a sport—it’s a transformative experience that brings people together, fosters personal growth, and builds lasting connections within our community.
Our “Rowing Changes Lives” video highlights the impact rowing has had on individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Through teamwork, dedication, and perseverance, our members not only achieve physical fitness but also develop critical life skills such as leadership, resilience, and mutual respect.
Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or new to the sport, rowing offers a unique opportunity to challenge yourself, find camaraderie, and contribute to a supportive and inclusive community. We invite you to watch our video and see firsthand how rowing can change lives, one stroke at a time.
Our Community and Venue Space
Our rowing center has not only changed lives through the sport but also by serving as a vibrant community hub. Our versatile venue space has hosted memorials, weddings, community classes, and more, providing a place where connections are forged and cherished memories are made.
A beloved tradition at our End of Season Banquet — our Novice team walks under the oars and become Varsity! We love to see it! Here’s to another great year!

Let’s hear it for our girls! 👊🏻
The BIR girls quad that is training to go to Nationals took the ferry to train with other clubs training — participating were Sammamish, Lakeside, Pocock and BIR! We love to see this teamwork among all these teams to push eachother and lift eachother up!
