“Register to Sub/Single Row”
Use the following $0 product to register to sub or to do single rows if not registered for a class.
Register to sub [RegSub]
$0.00
If you are not able to commit to a class for the current session, but would like to volunteer to sub, or to do approved make-ups from a previous session, please use this product to ‘register’, so we can make sure you are properly waivered. Subbing is contingent on coach approval, and does not guarantee that you will be boated.
Single Rows
Single rows are available to experienced rowers. Add your name to the tab for the class(es) you would like to attend, noting ‘SR’ after your name. The Daily Row Coordinator or coach will shade your name green if there is space for you in the class.
Single Rows (Flex Weeks, Oct 17 – Nov 6)
Use the following single row products for the 2022 flex weeks (end-of-season rowing). Any single row balance unused after the flex weeks can be applied to your winter rowing fees. Note that there are separate products for evening 90-minute classes and morning 2-hour classes.
