Opportunities to test newly acquired skills: On 3 Sundays during the Summer season, races will be held among the SRL Plus team(s) and the SRL teams who competed in the finals of the 2024 SRL Regatta. On each of the 3 Race Days, these teams will race over a 600m course just downstream of the boat house, starting at the fountain in Superior Bend and ending at the place where the east side bulkhead turns just upstream of the old Cereal Processors’ plant parking lot. As soon as the race is finished, the crews will proceed upstream, spin, and come into the dock, for the next team to take their boat. Assuming that we have 2 SRL Plus teams plus 10-12 teams from the 2024 SRL Championships, and further assuming 10 minute centers for the races, these can be run in 1-2 hours, or from 9-11:00 AM on a race day (the first 4 crews will have to be there ½ hour early to get out the equipment, and the last 4 crews will have to put the equipment away.). Each team will race 1 time on a race day. This gives each SRL Plus team 3 guaranteed opportunities to race at home in a season, and each SRL team participating 3 opportunities to race in addition to the 2 SRL Regattas. This will afford chances to evaluate performance and work on rowing issues in between races. This will also increase the opportunities for all rowers on these teams to race. Each year those who made the finals in the preceding year's SRL Regatta can test their mettle against the SRL Plus teams allowing everyone a bit of racing fun while honing their skills. Medals/T-shirts, etc. not anticipated but could be considered.

All rowers are required to register with USRowing and complete their SafeSport training before heading out on the water. Please note that, as many of our coxswains are under 18, every crew is expected to exceed five interactions with minors. Therefore, it is mandatory for everyone to complete the SafeSport course. The initial training takes approximately 90 minutes, with annual refresher sessions lasting 30 minutes thereafter.

Practice: Wednesday 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm, Saturday morning
