Costs
are kept low -- no membership is required to participate at SRA. Class
fees are very reasonable and scholarships are available for youth
and adults in need. There is
a wide range of programs, from recreation novice to national-level competitive.
Adult classes are designed for busy
people. And our youth classes synch
with local school schedules. We also offer a membership
program for rowers that wish to use SRA sculling boats and fitness
equipment outside of classes, and an adaptive
program for people with disabilities.
SRA
was founded in 1996 at Idylwood Park in Redmond.
We moved into an abandoned boathouse in Marymoor Park in 1997 and formed
a strong partnership with King County Parks. A lot of loving work has
restored the boathouse, which is easily accessible from all Eastside communities.
The SRA boathouse is home to a wide range of equipment.
We invest substantially in up-to-date boats, oars and other equipment.
We recently launched a capital campaign to build a new
boathouse.
Today, SRA is one of the largest rowing organizations in the Pacific Northwest, increasing in size every year since its inception. We have a fun, friendly, positive, encouraging atmosphere for rowers of all ages and levels.
SRA is involved in many community activities: Wetlands restoration, reforestation,
and adopt-a-road. We have had a positive effect in the area by giving
area youth additional athletic opportunities and sponsoring outreach activities
to schools and corporations. SRA believes in community -- both being there
for the community and giving back to the community. We hope you can become
a part of our growing community of rowers.
