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.
Fun Galentine’s get together at @fletcherbaywinery for our Husky Open Women’s teams! Cheers! 💜💛
…teaching rowing and bringing it into our community is one our core purposes at BIR. We’ve got a great group in our current Learn to Erg program!

Big thanks to our coaches and volunteers who help out on Mondays and Wednesdays! We appreciate each of you!
Today’s erg scrimmage at the Boathouse was full of fun, energy, and fierce competition! 💪 Lakeside and BIR brought their A-game, making it an unforgettable day of racing. Huge thanks to Lakeside for making the trek over on the ferry –we are excited for an amazing spring season ahead!
BIR will be front and center on Feb 23rd when riders cross the Chilly Hilly finish line near our boat house entrance.
