BIR New Adult Rower Registration

First of all -

Welcome to BIR!

We are glad you found us and

look forward to getting you rowing out on Eagle Harbor.

IMPORTANT! COVID-19 SAFETY PROTOCOL UPDATES. PLEASE READ!

PLEASE NOTE: BIR STRONGLY REQUESTS "Up To Date Vaccination" (which may include a booster, depending on vaccine type and date given) for all program participants.

Masks may be required depending on local transmission levels. BIR is committed to offering the safest possible experience both for our rowers and our community at large.

Thank you for your understanding.

The following items will need to be completed for registration with the Club:

Please note: Guests can row with BIR for a week duration in a given year and are not required to obtain USRowing Membership. If you would like to register as a guest, please use this link.

US Rowing Membership - All adult rowers must be registered with USRowing for liability and insurance purposes. You will need a USRowing Member # and expiration date to complete this registration.

To obtain a USRowing Member #:

log in to USRowing
Team Name: Bainbridge Island Rowing
Use club code: KRCBC (case-sensitive) to be added to the BIR roster.
For Membership Level, select: Basic ($15) or Basic Plus if you plan to race (26 and Under $40 / 27 and over $55)

Note: If you have a junior rower with the club, parents may need to "unlink" their email address with their Jr rowers in order to successfully create one's own USRowing membership. The USRowing website will give you this option if your email address is already linked.

BIR Float Test:

Please be advised, if you plan to row on the water with us, you will need to complete a group BIR Float Test* prior to going on the water. BIR offers group Float Tests periodically throughout the year (beginning of each season and LTR classes).

If you are doing a Learn to Row Class, the first evening of the LTR session we will schedule a group BIR Float Test, so you can plan on taking your BIR Float Test at the first class of the session.
In the interim*, if you are a former rower or beginning at a different time (off-season erg training or private lessons), you can call the Bainbridge Aquatic Center (206) 842-2302 to make an appointment for the BI Parks Dept Swim Test prior to going on the water. This is sufficient until you can take the group BIR Float Test (which is more extensive). Let the Aquatic Center know you would like to complete the standard Swim Test and make sure you call before just showing up. These tests are scheduled at the beginning of a weekend open-swim session. You will then need to follow-up with a Group Float Test.
We will accept float tests from another club within the last 10 years. Have it ready and you can upload it below during registration.
If you have a Lifeguard or Water Safety Instructor (WSI) card, a current PADI or similar diving certificate or have a certificate from another rowing organization, please upload it below.

I FULLY UNDERSTAND that: (a) ROWING ACTIVITIES INVOLVE INHERENT RISKS AND DANGERS of communicable disease(s), serious bodily injury, including permanent disability, paralysis, and death; and property damage ("Risks); (b) these Risks and dangers may be caused by my own actions, or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in the Activity, the condition in which the Activity takes place, or the negligence of the Releasees named below; (c) by entering the premises and participating in rowing- related and sponsored activities that there are risks to me and to those with whom I interact of exposure, directly or indirectly, to communicable disease(s) including but not limited to the virus “severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2)”, “COVID-19”, and/or any mutation or variation thereof; (d) there may be other risks and social and economic losses either not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time; and I FULLY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSSES, COSTS, AND DAMAGES I incur as a result of my participation in BIR Activities.

I AGREE AND WARRANT that I will examine and inspect each Activity in which I take part as a member of BIR and that if I observe any condition, which I consider to be unacceptably hazardous or dangerous, I will notify the proper authority in charge of the Activity and will refuse to take part in the Activity until the condition has been corrected to my satisfaction.

I AFFIRM I will comply with the BIR policies as they relate to communicable diseases.

I HEREBY RELEASE, discharge, and covenant not to sue BIR, its officers, directors, members, volunteers, employees, and agents (hereinafter “Releasees”) from all liability, claims, demands, losses, or damages of any kind or nature which may arise out of, result from, or relate in any way to my participation in BIR Activities, including claims caused or alleged to be caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, whether on the water or off, including negligent rescue operations.

I further agree that if, despite this release and waiver of liability, assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement, I, or anyone on my behalf, makes a claim against any of the Releasees, I WILL INDEMNIFY, SAVE, AND HOLD HARMLESS each of the Releasees from any litigation expenses, attorney fees, loss, liability, damage, or cost which any may occur as a result of such claim, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

By my electronic signature, I warrant that: (1) I have read this agreement and fully understand its terms and the fact that I will be giving up substantial rights; (2) I have signed this agreement freely and without inducement or assurances of any nature; (3) I intend for this to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law; (4) that if any portion of this agreement is held to be invalid, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect; and (5) I understand that the terms of this release are unlimited in duration and cover any and all BIR Activities that I participate in now and at any time in the future.
