Also Safety plan on website is an essential read. winter rowing advice (from Hannah W) As everyone is aware, rowing on the water continues throughout the winter season. It is therefore important to ensure that all participants wear appropriate clothing for the conditions. Below are a few pointers to help make sure we all stay warm and dry on the river. It is important to remember that large bulky clothing is not allowed as this can impair your rowing training, and risk injury. It will also soak up large amounts of water so will not keep you warm, and in an event of a capsize could seriously hinder your ability to stay afloat.

In addition, modern fabrics are designed to wick moisture away from the body to stop chilling when exercise is stopped.

4 It is better to wear a number of thin, tightly fitted layers. This allows air to be trapped between the layers and act as an insulator. It also means layers can be removed and replaced in response to the situation, to ensure you remain at a comfortable body temperature. In addition, modern fabrics are designed to wick moisture away from the body to stop chilling when exercise is stopped. Waterproofs are also important during the winter to keep dry; you'll all be aware that even when it isn't raining, it is likely you will get splashed during outings. It is important that any water does not reach your skin and lower your body temperature. It is important that the waterproof is suitable for rowing, and will not cause problems, as well as allowing perspiration through sweat to escape away from the body. A lot of heat is lost through the head, so a hat or similar is recommended during the winter months. Pogies or thin gloves can be used. Scarves however should not be worn, as they can potentially become entangled in the boat mechanisms. In addition to the kit you are wearing in the boat, you should always bring a complete set of spare clothes to change into. We are also lucky that we have warm shower facilities available which can be used to warm ourselves up, so it is recommended to bring a towel as well. Keep Warm! kit order Reminder that all adults wanting to compete and all juniors will need an all-in-one to race in. It takes six weeks or so to receive the kit from collation date so please ensure you order one if you are intending on racing this head season.
