What you need before you row: You will need to sign a waiver and have evidence of a completed swim test prior to your first class. See the box below titled "What to Bring" for information and links to these forms. Because of this paperwork it's good to show up a few minutes early the first day, if possible.
What To Wear?We recommend comfortable, but not baggy, athletic clothes. And shoes that you can slip in and out of at easily on the dock.CancellationsCancellation due to weather WRA makes every effort to provide you with a safe and enjoyable class at the planned time. However, sometimes weather or river conditions force us to reschedule on short notice. This is an outdoor sport and we will conduct the class in any weather except thunderstorms, very high winds or flooding of the river. If this happens we’ll work with you to make up the class at a time that fits your schedule. The instructor will contact you via email if the class needs to be cancelled due to weather. If you have questions feel free to email our Learn To Row instructor here. Cancellation by student If it becomes necessary for a registered student to cancel, refunds will be made as follows:
