LET’S GOOOOOOO!
We are thrilled that you have found us and are interested in learning to row. Here at Bainbridge Island Rowing we believe that rowing changes lives through friendships, community, teamwork and the serenity of being out on the water. Every spring through summer, we offer Learn to Row classes on the water. During the winter months, we offer ‘Learn to Erg’ classes indoors on the erg (rowing machine).
The format is a Weekend Intensive followed by skills development rowing sessions twice a week for two weeks. You are expected to commit to and attend all sessions. Once you learned the skills and completed a Learn to Row class, you will have the opportunity to join our Novice rowing group. An essential part of BIR is safety and we require all participants that will be in our rowing shells to complete a float test. This is usually scheduled after a boathouse orientation on the evening of the first session at the Bainbridge Island Aquatics Center.
Head to our Learn-to-Row page now on our website for more details!

What a fun Chilly Hilly! Thank you to everyone who came to ride, volunteer and cheer on the riders! We had such a great time hosting cyclists at the finish in our boat house with a place to get warm, rest and get a homemade sweet treat or two to help support our BIR scholarship fund! We are already planning next year! Thanks @cascadebicycle! See you in 2026!
