- Dress appropriately for the
weather. We row rain or shine so long as there isn't any thunder
or lightning.
- Oar handles and wheels on
sliding seats can get caught on loose fitting t-shirts
and shorts. Most prefer to wear
spandex type shorts with a t-shirt you can tuck in if necessary.
- Hand and wrist jewelry should
not be worn.
- Bring socks. Rowing shoes (13
size fits all) are already mounted in the boats, socks are required.
- Wear flip-flops or tennies that
you don't care about.
- Bring water with you in the
boat.
- Ladies, make-up will tend
to run but some rowing divas still insist on risking it.
- Bring as few valuables as
possible. Keys can be locked inside the boathouse while rowing.
- Toilet facilities are
available in the boathouse.
- Sunglasses, sunscreen and caps
are advised.
- Be ready to have FUN!!

- You may be
in a
scull or a sweep shell, depending on the number of rowers we have on
any
scheduled rowing date.
- Once
you become a member and have
been certified, you have access to club boats for
use at any time.
- Everyone
helps put
boats in and out
of the water. It is imperative you understand the basic Coxswain
commands for how the
boat is lifted, carried, and set into the water. Teamwork on and off
the water is important.
