A generous donation of used boats by Pocock Racing Shells, a trailer borrowed from the Pocock Rowing Center and a club work party combined in December to place two 8’s and two 4’s in the Renton Rowing boat pen. More work will be needed to get the boats rigged and ready for the water this spring, so watch your email for another club work party.

Our experienced, certified coaches teach you the art of sculling, including proper rowing technique and how to handle a boat safely.  The initial, six-session lesson set gives you skills to row independently or with teammates.  Experienced rowers brush up technique and perfect sculling skills.

Rowing is easy to learn and offers complete, full-body exercise, camaraderie and access to the beauty of Lake Washington.  Regular rowing develops strength, flexibility and a high level of physical fitness.
