Rochester Rowing ClubWhat do you wear while rowing?
Posted September 2nd, 2007 by john
Rowers should wear shorts and a t-shirt during warm weather. Shorts should not be too long or too loose or they may get caught in the slide.
During cooler weather, sweatpants and sweatshirt can be worn, but again, they should not be too loose-fitting.
Some rowers choose to wear tighter synthetic clothing (similar to spandex, but cooler and more comfortable) which keep the body warm during cool weather and breathes during the workout.
Rowers should always bring running shoes to practice in case they need to do a land practice.
Finally, all rowers must own a uni-suit or uni-top and a long-sleeve jersey in the club colors. This is a regatta regulation at almost all our races. Group orders for these items are placed several times a year.
