Celebrating 35 Years of Rowing
Vashon Island’s Community Rowing Club
Founded in 1990 on one of the most beautiful and serene rowing venues anywhere, the Vashon Island Rowing Club has developed a strong co-ed program for teens as well as introductory, recreational and competitive programs for adults. The Club has consistently attracted excellent coaches and enjoys deep support from the community, a fleet of high-quality shells, a boathouse at Jensen Point on the Burton Peninsula, and an indoor training facility at Sunrise Ridge.
Discover Rowing
You can learn more about rowing by watching a practice, experiencing what it’s like to be in a shell, taking a series of classes, and talking with people who started as novices and have come to love the sport.
Youth Program
We offer year-round coached programs for teenagers. Rowers develop strength, technique and teamwork in a supportive, co-ed atmosphere. Many Juniors participate in other sports during the year.
Adult Program
The VIRC Adult program is a great way to meet people and develop a practice that focuses the mind and builds the body in a beautiful venue. We welcome novice as well as experienced and competitive rowers.
