ABOUT THE POCOCK ROWING CENTER
THE POCOCK LEGACY
The George Pocock Memorial Rowing Center was built in 1994 by the founders of the George Pocock Rowing Foundation - a group of Seattle, Northwest, and National rowing enthusiasts - to honor the legacy of George Pocock by ensuring access to the formative, wonderful sport of rowing.
The Pocock Rowing Center has evolved over the years with the growth of the sport and the city. The history of the Pocock Rowing Center has included high-performance training for rowers at the youth, elite, and adult levels. Most importantly, the Center has been a wellspring for the love of the sport for thousands of athletes of all ages.
We hope to continue the legacy of George Pocock: Innovation, craftsmanship, and the generosity of knowledge.

“It is hard to make that boat go as fast as you want to. The enemy is the resistance of the water… But that very water is what supports you and that very enemy is your friend. So is life: the very problems you must overcome also support and make you strong in overcoming them.” - George Y Pocock
