Philosophy: Everyone learns to row in a
small boat first. Single shell, two oars each. RRC teaches a solid foundation in theory, rigging, skills, and finally,
race strategy. Sculling develops the muscles of rowing equally, which is ideal, and less prone to injury. RRA athletes
are expected to have a higher level of responsibility, accountability, and give full attention and effort to each class.
Each athlete receives individual attention and goals are personalized.

What to wear? Layers are important. Start with snug-fitting running tights or shorts. A tank with a t-shirt that you can tuck in is
next. We like bright colors, or at least white, so you can be seen on the water. A windbreaker, pullover or fleece are
last, depending on the weather. Thick socks, and bring an extra pair, as they do get wet. No loose clothing, such
as soccer/basketball shorts, as these get caught in the rolling seats. Shoes you can slip off easily - we don't wear
shoes in the boats. Flip flops are OK, too, but bring those socks! Water bottle! Towel (in the very unlikely event
of a capsize)Enter content here
