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.

…we see you, February and we are HERE FOR ALL OF IT. 😌
Pretty spectacular first day of spring practice. So grateful to row here.
Getting scrimmage ready earlier in the week! 👊🏻@lakeside.crew
Over two different weekends, the boys team and girls team did sleepovers at the boat house. Such a great time for team bonding! As an added bonus, they snuck in a row together in the winter. We have so much excitement for spring season! If you’ve been wanting to row, we’d love to have you join us and be a part of our BIR family!
What a fun night for a movie! Big thank you to everyone who came out to volunteer and to watch A Most Beautiful Thing @lynwoodtheatre!
We always love being on the water with @petesaloutosphotography! Thank you for the beautiful image!
