CHANGING LIVES, 

ONE STROKE AT A TIME

East Bay Rowing Club is the home of community rowing on the Oakland Estuary. All are welcome, especially people with no rowing experience. Our commitment to Youth and Adult rowing goes deep, including financial support. We believe in coaching excellence and embrace all aspects of rowing, from learning to racing.

COMMUNITY

Community

We're the home of community rowing in Oakland and the East Bay. We value the rich diversity of the communities we serve and aspire to provide a sense of belonging. We have youth and adult rowing programs that include those who want to learn, recreational rowers and those who compete nationally. We extend rowing to the community in the form of team building opportunities. We eagerly provide financial assistance to Juniors and Masters rowers who need it.

COACHES

The East Bay Rowing Club's coaches are are committed to working with each rower to help them achieve their individual goals. Our coaches deliver a variety of programs to allow individuals to explore and choose the type, intensity, frequency and atmosphere that optimizes their personal growth. We currently have 8 amazing coaches on our staff. If you are interested in coaching for us, please reach out!

FACILITY

Jack London Aquatic Center
The Jack London Aquatic Center (JLAC) was built by the City of Oakland in 2002. It's managed by the Oakland Parks & Recreation Department. JLAC hosts three rowing clubs and three dragon boat clubs. The facility is located in a protected cove right off the Oakland Estuary, and has a brand new 120-foot dock, plus a public boat launch ramp. Behind JLAC is Estuary Park, now being developed into one of Oakland's most beautiful waterfront parks--and which will include a new shower and storage facility for rowers.

EQUIPMENT

Equipment
During the last couple of years we have been acquiring new and nearly new racing shells and oars. We continue to standardize our inventory on Vespoli. We also have Filippi, Resolute, Pocock and Sykes shells. For sculling, we have singles, doubles and quads. For sweep, we have pairs, 4+s and 8+s. Our equipment is very good. We don't rent space to boat owners, although we'll happily store privately-owned equipment if it's available to coaches for practices.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

EBRC remains committed to breaking down financial and social barriers that limit access to rowing. We dedicate ourselves to including people of color in our rowing programs, our staff and our leadership. Our ultimate goal is a club where everyone belongs and pulls together to support the best within each other.
