This is to be used for the early on-the-water classes launching from GWC, and is intended for experienced rowers only. Classes will run on Saturdays and Sundays, 11am-1pm, weather and river conditions permitting. Dates of classes: 4/5, 4/6, 4/12, 4/13, 4/10, 4/20, 4/26, 4/27, 5/3, 5/4. (One or both of the two May dates may be on the canal!) Sign-ups will be through special class tabs in the Session 4 Google doc. Space is limited, and coaches will do their best to make equitable selections while boating so that everyone who wants to gets a chance for early rowing.
Any unused balances from purchases of single rows can be applied to fees for the summer sessions.
“Register to Sub/Single Row”
Use the following $0 product to register to sub or to do single rows or approved make-ups if not registered for a class. Subbing is limited to rowers registered for the current session or previous session. If you are registered for the current session, you don’t need to use this product in order to be eligible to sub.
