It’s a great art, is rowing. It’s the finest art there is. It’s a symphony of motion. And when you’re rowing well, why it’s nearing perfection. And when you reach perfection you’re touching the divine. It touches the you of you’s, which is your soul.
–George Pocock

Whether your first exposure to rowing was the Olympics or just the sight of a solitary sculler at dawn, there’s something breathtaking and inspiring about the purity of rowing. Gliding across smooth water on your own power, with a crew of mates or by yourself, there’s nothing quite like it. compasses so many things –, fitness, social, recreational, competitive — all while being environmentally friendly. And it’s never too late to start. We have master rowers in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, some who have been rowing for years, others who have just taken it up. And for teenagers, rowing is a sport that opens doors to some of the best universities in the country. It teaches you how to be a part of a team, how to work your body to its maximum physical ability.
Sammamish Rowing Association is the only rowing facility on the Eastside. It’s located on the north end of Lake Sammamish, a quiet body of water that let’s you relish both the power and the serenity of the stroke. We offer Learn to Row programs for both Youth and Adults. Let us help you experience the art of rowing.
