Sound Rowers Home

Sound Rowers Open Water Rowing and Paddling Club is an organization conducting races coordinated by volunteers for world class and weekend athletes in any open water, human powered craft. We sponsor races for kayaks, surf skis, rowing shells, rowboats and canoes throughout Puget Sound. There are more than a dozen different racing classes for all levels of competition, from recreational paddlers to Olympic athletes. Non-members are welcome to participate - all you need is a boat, a paddle, a PFD and whistle (required) and a nominal entry fee.

1/25/2012	New at La Conner! We are trying out a new registration and timing system. Help us out by pre-registering online; you can pre-register without making a final committment, so please sign up if you are even thinking of racing. Official registration will still take place day-of-race. http://www.webscorer.com/register.aspx?raceid=1791 Questions? Contact your webmaster.
