Participation in Bainbridge Island Rowing is open to anyone interested in rowing or in supporting crew on Bainbridge and throughout the greater Kitsap area. Our success as an organization depends in large part on the involvement and volunteer efforts of our members, who are expected to contribute by joining committees and work parties.

FALL REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

Our fall rowing programs are open to students from across Kitsap County. No prior rowing experience is required to join, and our junior teams accept new rowers during every rowing season. BIR has historically been a no-cut team.

Varsity and Novice teams are organized by gender. Because athletes compete by age group at regattas, it’s not uncommon for Varsity and Novice rowers to find themselves in mixed lineups.

The 8th Grade fall rowing program is open to students from across Kitsap County. No prior rowing experience is required to join, and our junior teams accept new rowers during every rowing season.
