At our program we only require a pfd in the launch(no matter what). To be in a shell you must have passed the swim test. No matter what.

We require PFD's until they pass the swim and tread water tests.

We too require PFD's until they pass a swim test. So far we've only had a cox who couldn't pass the test. Our swim test includes donning a PFD while in the water. And we carry, in the coach's launch, PFD's for every rower.

Hi – I’m a parent helper (and a master rower) of a junior rowing program on Vashon Island. We are exploring the idea of requiring pfd’s by our juniors when they train. I’m curious about what other junior programs do. Do you require rowers to wear pfd’s? Do you require them only on small boats, or in marginal weather? Our group is sp
lit on what we should do – half think all juniors should wear pfd’s all the time, and half think that if there is a coaches launch nearby (and there always is) then wearing a pfd is not necessary. What do you all do?
