Guest Rowing at SRA

Sammamish Rowing Association welcomes rowers from other clubs to enjoy independent rowing on Lake Sammamish.  Guest rowing is suitable for experienced rowers age 18 and up who have at least six months of experience rowing a single. This experience is particularly important when rowing in the dark, during winter, or in other difficult rowing conditions, as guests will not be able to rely on others for assistance in an emergency.  Please factor your skill level and the rowing conditions into your decision to row as a guest on Lake Sammamish.  
 
Guests can buy a one-day Guest Row Day Pass. Guests who wish to row more than one day can buy multiple Day Passes or a Small-Boat Membership (email [email protected] at the end of your visit to cancel the monthly auto-renewal).
