Frequently Asked Questions

What do I wear?

Fitted or spandex shorts are preferred. Loose fitting or baggy shorts can get caught in the sliding seat. A regular workout type shirt is fine. We recommend a hat regardless of weather, but not required.

What should I bring?

Bring a water bottle and a towel. We have a filtered water source to fill/re-fill water bottle. A towel is good to have on the off chance you get wet as well as when we perform exercises on the ground.

We will work with individuals to complete their Learn-to-Row.
