As our Central District Championship is being held this year in Austin, Texas I have received a lot of phone calls and emails in the last few days. Everyone is concerned but still planning to attend. I think more than being concerned that there may be a threat to our athletes folks seem to be worried that something will happen and we won’t be able to race. At this point we are not planning on any changes but w e are monitoring the situation.

We would like to ask the community of youth rowing if any of your programs have had to cancel practices or regattas due to the Swine Flu? We have heard the some school districts in areas of the country are closing or have closed.

Are any of your rowing clubs having to do the same?

Please reply to glenn@usrowing.org

Thank you!

My team is leasing an 8 from Vespoli and I need to get it to Pittsburgh ASAP. The shell is currently in Oak Ridge, TN. They have found it a ride to D.C. next week or Marietta the following week.
My schedule does not permit me the time to get to either of those places in a timely fashion.
If you can help me get it from any of those 3 places, please let me know.

Thanks!

• Rules of Rowing refresher
• Video review
• Safety

Thought this article might be of use to clubs with no power at their
boathouse (like ours), but need to charge batteries for launches,
bowlights, etc. It describes how to build a solar "power generator"
for less than $300.

http://www.rain.org/~philfear/how2solar.html

p.s. haven't tried it myself.

I am also interested in hearing responses to this request since I am
hoping to start a program in Columbia, SC.

As for my 2 cents worth, here are some things to consider:
1.  Where will they row?
2.  When will they row, fall or spring or both?
3.  What equipment will they use?
4.  Who will coach the participants?
5.  How will you pay for the program, through fees, fund raising,
grants, or a combination of the above?
6.  Will the program be part of the high school athletic program or
independent of it?
7.  A "steering committee" will be needed to take care of the myriad
of details that will have to be considered, and as always, the devil
is in the details.

Is there a rowing club in the area who would be willing to have your
junior program as part of their program?  If so, that would be a
tremendous help.  If not, you will have to find a place to row,
somewhere to store your boats and other equipment, not to mention
starting from scratch to assemble all the required equipment.

An important factor in potentially working with an existing club, is
that they will have set up safety and administrative policies that you
will otherwise have to establish yourself.  Moreover, the club may be
a source of coaching, either employing the club coach (if she/he
exists) a part-time high school coach or having a member of the club
serve as the high school coach.

Identify potential other participants and start working with the
parents to form a "steering committee" to help get things going.  You
will need to examine the guidelines or "rules and regulations" of
other junior programs to identify areas that need definition.

Talk with the high school athletic director and determine how
supportive the high school would be.  Would it be a part of the high
school athletic program, an adjunct program, or a totally separate
program.  The answer to that question will help define some of your
assets and constraints.  Even if it is not part of the athletic
program, you may be able to work out an arrangement so that rowers can
earn a high school athletic letter by participating.

I hope this will help get the discussion going.

How do I go about building a high school program from scratch?  I have
two daughters entering our town high school, Westford Academy, in
Massachusetts over the next few years and they would like to compete at
that level.  I'm assuming I'll need to get sponsorship, conduct
fundraising, and build awareness.  Where do I start?  Has anyone gone
through this process recently?

Thanks in advance for any information.

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.
