WHEN AND WHERE?

The RVR Team meets Monday-Friday, 4-6pm after-school from late August to early December, then again from early January to late May. These practices are held at Mt. Baker Rowing and Sailing Center (at Stan Sayers Park) on South Lake Washington. Transportation is provided to and from practice from local community centers (Garfield, Rainier, and Rainier Beach). There are starting dates throughout the year - you do not have to sign up in August to be a part of RVR!

For participants who can't swim or want some extra water instruction before getting in a boat, a trained and certified lifeguard will help you learn to get comfortable in the water and float with confidence early in the season. Swim sessions will be held at Rainier Beach Pool.
