Row With Us on American Lake

CBRC began with a single four-oared racing shell in 1992. Since then, we've grown to become one of the premier rowing clubs in the South Puget Sound area, offering the highest quality instruction and competition for both experienced rowers and novices alike. We row on beautiful American Lake, located just south of Tacoma. Join us!

We offer summer camps for adults or youth in middle and high school. Private lessons are also available for adults.

Competitive rowing on the Juniors team is available year-round for athletes in middle and high school.

The Masters team offers training and competition year-round for experienced rowers. Adults of all ages are welcome!

All Are Welcome

We want everyone in our community to have the opportunity to participate in this life-changing sport.
