FAQ

  • What should I wear?

    Rowers should wear close-fitting clothing, a comfortable top, a hat/visor, sunglasses, socks, and shoes they do not mind getting wet. If it is cold enough for a jumper or jacket, try to avoid pockets in the front as your oar handle can get caught, making it difficult to row. Long hair should also be restrained.

  • Do I need to be able to swim?

    While ending up in the water is rare, we require all participants to be able to swim. At a minimum, you should be able to swim 50 metres unaided in your training clothes.

  • Are there dressing rooms and showering facilities?

    There are male and female changing rooms and showers available for use at the Municipal Boathouse.

  • How do I sign up to the rowing club?
