What should I wear when I come for a Learn-To-Row or Clinic?

We tend to get dirty so wear old, comfortable clothing. Please dress to fit the weather conditions. We will be outside for the duration of your class. Very loose fitting clothing can get caught in the moving parts of the boat so make sure the clothes you will wear to row in fit snugly. Old shoes and socks are a must. Bring a change of clothing and an extra pair of shoes in case your feet get wet on the dock or we run into a rain shower. A water bottle, sunglasses and sunscreen are good, too.
