ROWING CHANGES LIVES!

Meet Sigrid! She started at BIR over 20+ years ago — before the rowing center, and even before the tennis court! Years ago at the 3rd of July Street Dance, she was asked by a few girls if should would like a snow cone to support the rowing program. Next thing you know Sigrid joined the program. Fast forward she celebrated her 90th birthday last week. Happy day, Sigrid! 🎈

A few tidbits from Sigrid!

• Advice for younger rowers: “Keep on rowing – it’s a great sport for staying healthy and creating lasting friendships. Don’t get discouraged with a bad row, there will always be a better row ahead!

• How rowing has changed her life: “Rowing has changed my life in that I became more aware of my health. I attribute my good health today to the sport. It also keeps me on track with commitment to the sport and participation with the team.”

Thank you, Sigrid — for all you do for our rowing community and our community at large! 👊🏻

Since 2001 Bainbridge Island Rowing has been growing a multi-generational Kitsap County rowing community from our home base at historic Eagle Harbor. Our mission is to build community through rowing and serve the West Sound region. BIR supports recreational, fitness and competitive rowing goals for members by providing outstanding coaching, equipment, and facilities in a welcoming, collaborative, and respectful environment.

Since the beginning, we have helped change hundreds of lives through the positive physical, psychological, social, and sporting impact of rowing. BIR does this by introducing the public to the sport through “Learn to Row” and provides programs throughout the year for high school students and adults for recreational and competitive rowing locally, regionally, and nationally.
