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.
Happy Thanksgiving from our BIR community! Some of our Adult Team snuck out on the water this morning for a gratitude row. What a beautiful day today!
Congratulations to BIR’s two newest collegiate rowers — Hannah (UW) and Addie (Michigan State) at today’s signing ceremony! 👊🏻 BIR and our extended community on Bainbridge are SO PROUD of you both! 👏🏻
…wow, look at those paddles up and in action! Big thanks to island artist, Shawn Parks (@revolushawn) along with @blackmouthdesign for these! What a hit!
It means so much when our Bainbridge community partners with us at BIR! We can’t say thank you enough to all our donors, sponsors, volunteers, coaches, families and rowers! This was a real group effort!

Our success as an organization hinges on the support of local businesses with whom we are proud to collaborate with on many levels. We want to give a huge thank you to those businesses that contributed to our Dream Big event! Together, we do really BIG things in our community! We couldn’t have done it without each of you — thank you so much! ☺️
