Lake Washington Rowing Club

Learn to row at the Lake Washington Rowing Club and be a part of a 50 year tradition!

 Rowing is a rewarding sport with a unique balance of technique, fitness and character.  Classes at LWRC are for the complete beginner to learn the basics to enjoy a new sport on the waterways in and around Lake Union.  Learn-To-Row coaches are hand-selected from rowers within the LWRC membership who have shown expertise in both the knowledge of the rowing stroke and the ability to teach it.  We take pride in teaching participants to be well rounded with knowledge in both sculling and sweep rowing.

Learn to Row 1 is a prerequisite for Learn to Row 2 and Team Rowing.
