SUMMER ROWING PROGRAMS
Crescent Boat Club again offers two summer rowing programs described in detail below. Crescent’s focus on rower’s safety, both on and off of the water is a key ingredient to our successful programs. Whether your child is interested in learning how to scull (rowing with two oars), participate in a competitive sculling program or just keep in shape this summer, we offer those experiences here at Crescent.

Junior Rower Defined:

A Junior is a competitor who in the current calendar year does not attain the age of 19, or who is and has been continuously enrolled in secondary school as a full time student seeking a diploma. A competitor thus ceases to be a Junior after December 31 of the year of his or her 18th birthday, or of the year in which he or she completes the 12th grade of secondary school, having been a full time student, whichever is later.

(1) A competitor's eligibility to compete in Junior events is not affected by his or her classification by skill under Rule 4-105 ("Classification by Skill"). A Junior competitor's classification by skill in non-Junior events shall be as provided in that Rule.

(2) Within the Junior classification, there shall be a sub classification known as "Junior B" made up of those Juniors who in the current calendar year do not attain the age of 17.
