Women on the Water (WOW) is a free rowing and sailing program for women of all ages in Tacoma, Washington. Women on the Water was created to inspire and empower women through maritime education and experience. During the pandemic, the program lost both its home and its momentum. Now, a collaboration between two local maritime non-profits is breathing new life into Women on the Water. WOW provides unique access to mentorship and opportunities to develop maritime skills such as rowing, sailing, and navigation. Participants also increase physical fitness and confidence, and build teamwork and leadership abilities on the water. The program aims to create a compassionate and resilient community where women can share experiences and support each other's growth. Beyond individual benefits, WOW increases women's representation and participation in the traditionally male-dominated maritime world. Through this program, women gain confidence and expertise, contributing to safer, more inclusive maritime communities.
