Vashon Island Rowing Club

VIRC is a private, non-profit club that offers competitive and recreational rowing for youth and adult members of the Vashon Island community. Our Club is diverse in age, gender and skill levels, offers opportunities to row competitively or recreationally, and connects its members with our marine environment. We are supportive as teammates and enjoy each other’s company, both on and off the water. Our venue is remarkable for its natural beauty and variety of rowing options. We have taught more than 500 people to row and sent dozens of Juniors to college on rowing scholarships. In its third year, the Club expanded to include men and changed its name to the Vashon Island Rowing Club. A number of coaches have come and gone in the past three decades and hundreds of youth and adult Islanders have learned to row.
