Additional Information for the Season - PLEASE READ

Rowers unable or unwilling to do so will be required to wear PFD during all “on-water” activities. The swim test may be performed at most area pools. Please print this form, have it completed by a lifeguard, and bring it to the first practice.

Required Meeting: Parents/Guardians of rowers are required to attend an informational meeting on September 8th from 6:00-8:00 PM in the High School LGI (Arts Entrance).
