welcome to open water rowing!

Open Water Rowing Center offers unprecedented open water rowing on San Francisco and Richardson Bays. Whether you are an experienced rower, a complete beginner, or just looking for the right equipment, let our expert staff help.

Learn To Row: We now have spaces coming available in our Bay Rower program. This semi-private 3 session course trains you in the basics of sculling and safety on the water. Each 2 hour session is with an expert coach who will take you from novice to the exhilaration of a proper rowing stroke. Click on the link to find out how to become a BAY ROWER.

Improve Your Skills: The FUNDAMENTALS CLINIC is on Tuesday mornings at 8:15 AM. This clinic is for rowers who have completed the Bay Rower program at OWRC and want to continue to improve their basic skills and techniques. It is also a great way to refresh your skills if you haven’t been on the water in a while. Class size is limited to 5. You can book here.

Condition: If you aren’t able to make it out on the Bay please come in and use our ERGS to stay in shape for your next row. They are available on a complimentary basis to OWRC members during business hours.
