Renton Rowing Center

Our Mission

Renton Rowing Center encourages people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds to discover community on and off the water.

​

At RRC, we believe that everyone should have access to participate in the great sport of rowing at the level that is most beneficial to them. We strive for every member of our community to develop a love of rowing, lifelong physical activity, and commitment to health. We believe that rowing offers an experience in which people can develop fundamental life skills in teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and self-discipline.

Anyone who wants to row should be able to do so, regardless of background or economic status. We recognize that rowing is a sport that has historically excluded many marginalized groups, and RRC is committed to creating opportunities in which people of all backgrounds and identities have the opportunity to safely participate fully in all that rowing has to offer. 

ADULT MEMBERSHIP

We offer opportunities for adults of all ages. Membership is required for participation in intermediate and advanced programs or private boat storage.

New members must have completed a full Learn to Row class or obtain prior approval from the Executive Director based on other experience.

YOUTH ROWING

We offer opportunities for youth in grades 6-12. No prior rowing or athletic experience necessary. Information on our upcoming Summer camps is now available! Please visit our Youth Rowing page to learn more.

ADULT LEARN TO ROW

If you've never rowed before or if it's been a while, Learn to Row is a great place to start. Our adult 4-week classes run from April - September every year. Visit our Learn to Row page for more and private lesson inquires.

RENTALS

We have rentals available for kayaks, stand up paddle boards, and canoes during the summer.

We are now closed for the season and will reopen Memorial Day 2025! Please visit our Rentals page for pricing and reservations.

About our Roots

A Boathouse for the Renton Community

Created in 2014 with the help of the George Pocock Rowing Foundation, RRC is Renton's community boathouse. In January 2023, we re-launched RRC as an independent non-profit organization to better serve our community members and reach even more people through our sport. We are proud to serve an extremely diverse community of athletes and families, and promote water access for all.
