Attendance
As stated above, due to the nature of the sport, crew is a team activity that
requires an exclusive commitment from those that choose to participate in it.
Quite simply, if there is a scheduled practice, your presence is REQUIRED –
PERIOD. All training is mandatory and all athletes are expected to attend on
time, every time. If you sign up and agree to be a part of this program, except
for
illness or an unforeseen family matter, your time as outlined in the schedule is
OCCUPIED.
We are here to provide those committed to the process the opportunity to
develop themselves (and as a team) in ways you never thought possible, while
striving to reach our collective competitive goals.
Racing is a privilege and racing priority will be given to those who give us
their full commitment, and they will be rewarded for it! We hope to see you on
the water!

Carpools
Parents and students will arrange carpools to get athletes to and from weekday
practices. All carpool riders must sign the carpool waiver. Student drivers will
assist in transporting non-drivers to and from practice. Riders should be
courteous to their Driver(s) and are expected to pay for their share of gas, on
a monthly basis. Call the night before if you won't need a ride to practice.
Team members are responsible for arranging their own transportation to practice
and regattas on weekends.
Swim Tests
It is mandatory for all NEW athletes to take the swim test. Testing will be
conducted at the high school pool. We will advise you of the date. All team
members taking the test must bring a long-sleeved shirt and pants to be worn in
the pool. New athletes must take and pass this test to be on the team.
