What if I can't make it every week?
Recreational rowers have flexibility. Life happens, and missing a practice is fine. Come when you can, and we’ll place you in a boat that fits who’s on the water that day. Monthly fees remain the same regardless of attendance, but we know life is busy so don’t sweat it if you can’t make a particular practice. Letting the coaching staff know if you will be there or not is helpful so they can plan for boatings.
Do I need my own boat or equipment?
No. All equipment including boats and oars are provided.
