About us
Lake Washington Rowing Club’s primary purpose is to further the sport of rowing in the greater Seattle area. The scope of our activities extends from the training of people who have never rowed before to the training and development of Olympic-caliber rowers. The club has programs for recreational and competitive rowing for adults of all ages.
LWRC distinguishes itself from other rowing programs in the area, primarily through an emphasis on mastery of boat-handling skills as well as rowing technique. We value sculling as the principal path to excellence in all types of rowing. The individualized attention available from our coaches as well as the collective depth of experience of our membership will allow you to progress to whatever degree of proficiency you are capable. We also emphasize fellowship and working together toward common goals within the club.
LWRC is a not-for-profit organization, and all members are expected to participate in club work parties, meetings, and equipment maintenance. As a club member, access to the boathouse and use of club equipment is very flexible.
We offer everything from introductory classes for all, members or not, to programs specifically designed for members. Or maybe you are just looking for space to rent for a special party? Check out the links to the left to see what LWRC has to offer for you!
