it to the next level.

2. Nutrition for Racing and Training (Rowing Specific)

all rowing teams

workouts and valuable ideas like keeping a log book.
Competitive Sweep Racing:
Please view the Boys Flyer or the Girls Flyer
Emphasis is on producing the fastest racing lineups possible.
Significant amount of time is spent training and seat racing. Participants
commit to the full five week, rigorous regimen
and will compete at several exciting summer regattas. Although
no cuts will be made, racing boats will be determined by
participant commitment and ability.
