Please help spread the word! Have your family and friends who have sparked an interest in rowing come to the boathouse for a 90 minute introduction to our world. This includes a tour/history of our program, quick erg lesson, review of the boat and then an hour on the water with our Coaches.
There are sessions at 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00 AM and an opportunity to secure a seat ahead of time: http://bhrow.com/learn-to-row
Volunteers! In order to make this the best experience for our new rowers, we need your help!
- Parents/Masters
- Seeking 2-3 to assist with registration and collecting waivers – email me if interested and your time availability, we can always do shifts. Registration will be 8:45-11:00.
- Athletes
- Mods/HS/Masters/Alum – in the boathouse, assisting with the erg lessons, giving one on one attention to our participants – up to 15 each hour, 9, 10, 11. Lots of down time in between, ability to hop on the water also.
- HS/Masters/Alum – on the water, confident coxswains and helpful rowers – to help the participants in and out of the boats, give them tips and tricks on the water
- Aiming for 3 boats on the water at 9:30, 10:30, 11:30 – 3 coxswains and around 12 rowers each hour. No breaks in between sessions for the water portion but hopefully we’ll have enough people to swap in and out.
