Schedule
Practice is held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:45 - 6:30 pm and on Saturday mornings from 12:00 noon - 2:00 pm.
Contact George Park if you are interested in rowing recreationally or competitively or if you would like to help.
Safety
Everyone's safety is our highest priority. That is why we have the safety launch on the water at every Junior Practice that has rowers on the water. In the event of inclement weather, rowers report to the boathouse for potential land workout.
Races
A regatta is a highlight for any rower. We competed in the following regattas during Fall 2009
Head of the Broad Regatta (Columbia) October 3: Won Silver in Youth Men's 1X, Silver in Youth Mixed 4X and Bronze in Youth Men's 2X
Secret City Head Race (Oak Ridge, TN) October 31: Won Silver in Youth Mixed 2X and Bronze in Youth Men's 1X
Head of the South (Augusta, GA) November 14: Won Silver in Youth Mixed 2X and finished fourth in Youth Men's 2X and Youth Men's 1X
For Spring 2010, we plan to participate in:
