FAQ’s:
How young is too young to participate in the sport of rowing?
– It all depends on the athleticism, size and willingness to learn of the participant. Usually, 12 years old is a good starting point. The best thing to do is to contact CBC with any questions.
Does the participant need to know how to swim?
– YES! The participant needs to be a competent swimmer with the ability to tread water for 7 minutes.
What do rowers need to do in order to be prepared for their rowing practice?
– Arrive 5 minutes before practice starts.
– Have a complete lunch and healthy snack and be well hydrated before arriving at CBC.
– Wear running shoes for every practice for on-land warm up, as running and erging (rowing machine) are part of our daily protocol.
– Wear tight-fitting athletic clothing (to avoid loose clothing getting caught in equipment).
– Sun hat, refillable water bottle, sunglasses and sunscreen (are required at every practice.)
