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 are so excited for the second annual Brown Bear Regatta on Bainbridge on Sunday, September 28th! Our entire Bainbridge community is invited to come and hang out with us and enjoy a day of racing! We really can’t wait to see everyone and share about what we do! Thank you Brown Bear for sponsoring such a great event with us!
…pulling into the ferry dock. Hey, BIR. 👋🏻 

Side note, that water looks gorgeous. 🥰
7 girls + Coach Chelea + 2 dogs + 10 miles of vigorous hiking + lots of popsicles in Quilcene at the end of the hike = very fun day yesterday! @birvarsitygirls 

Thanks to Chelsea for the pic! ⛰️🥾☀️
Happy 4th from BIR! 🇺🇸 What a fun day! Thank you Meloni Courtway for this pic from today!
Our Alumni Row is right around the corner on July 5, 9-11 AM! This is your chance to reunite with old teammates, get back in a boat, and maybe even enjoy a little friendly competition. Whether you’ve been training or just want to relive the magic, we hope to see you there!

Beyond this event, we want the boathouse to be more than just a place to row—we want it to be a home where you always feel welcome. Whether through social gatherings, rowing opportunities, or mentorship, we hope to keep alumni connected.

We can’t wait to reconnect and keep the BIR spirit alive—on and off the water. Whether through Alumni Row, future events, or simply staying in touch, we hope to see you soon!
Join us at the Boathouse on July 4th! 🇺🇸

Visiting the Grand Old Fourth Beer Garden at Waterfront Park on the 4th?🍺 Come see us at our Boathouse! We will have our Snack Shack serving up hotdogs, popcorn, and peanuts in support of our rowing scholarship program! 🌭🍿🥜🍺

Indoors, enjoy our family fun zone that includes bounce houses and kid activities — like bracelet making, lawn games and temporary tattoos! 

Not to mention, a great place to cool off out of the sunshine! See you on the 4th!
