Athletes from all schools now need to be at the club for 6:00AM

It will be a wet launch for this regatta, meaning you’ll have to get in the water up to mid thigh. Dress accordingly.

There will be a BBQ for the athletes after racing. Each athlete will get a free burger and free drink. Parents/guests can get a ticket for the same meal for $5. Cash only.

There will now be a second senior men’s double, with L.D. and Q.H.

There will now be three mixed novice quads instead of just one.

1. A.R., Ha.R., C.D., S.B.

2. G.S., K.M., M.W-S., A.K.

3. S.L., I.A., A. F-S., T.K.

There will be a mixed eight in the last event of the day, the captains challenge eight. It will consist of both senior quads, and Y.H. As the coxie.

Please bring lots of food, water, and sunscreen.

There were a lot of questions being directed at the lead coaches today about summer rowing. I’ll answer these from my perspective and then you can approach the lead coaches tomorrow about any unanswered questions.

I encourage everyone to consider rowing in the summer and by extension the fall rowing season. It will give you considerable opportunity to improve your rowing abilities. Here are important considerations.

The summer competitive season starts on June 12th and runs through to the major event of the Canadian rowing calendar which is the Royal Canadian Henley and which runs August 2 to 7.

If you are interested in summer competitive club rowing then you need to commit to it. What this means is that if you are planning on being away on weekends or taking time off during the above mentioned period than summer competitive rowing is NOT for you. You must be able to commit to a training schedule that involves in excess of 8 practices a week and racing every weekend. No exceptions.

Also crew composition is based on performance. You earn your spot in a crew through your rowing ability and erg scores. This is not a program where you row with who you want and try out different boats based on your choice. The coaches build boats towards high performance and racing potential.

You need to commit to the summer competitive program by June 12th. Do NOT leave this to the last minute.

If the above has not scared you away than you need to purchase a Leander unisuit for racing. This is time sensitive and needs to be done by Sunday May 29th. Put your order in NOW.Here are the details:

At this point if you have read this far you now realize that summer competitive is not a drop-in program. If you want to come out a few days a week and improve your rowing ability than consider the bantam program as your suimmer activity. This is a more casual program and gives more opportunity for flexibility. Please review the following carefully and ask me or Meegan for clarification.

Please be aware that this is a very hectic regatta, and boatings may change slightly. Mike and I have a coaches meeting tonight, where we will try to enter on more senior men’s double, and look into a the possibility of more mixed novice quads. We know these boats are not what many of you have practiced, but Mike and I believe wholeheartedly that you can still go out there, race hard, and make us all proud.

As always, if you have questions feel free to reach out over email.
