We will continue to address COVID concerns. Our number one goal is to help keep our athletes safely engaged in physical activity and connected with their teammates.
We will adjust our requirements (such as mask wearing) based on the level of COVID concerns. Participants are welcomed to wear a mask while working out.
No athlete should attend practice if they are not feeling well. If you experience flu like or COVID-like symptoms – stay home and get a COVID test. You should notify your coach so they know you will be absent.
Bare Hill Rowing Association is committed to the health and safety of its members and the greater community as a top priority. We operate in accordance with protocols set forth by USRowing, the national governing body of the sport of rowing, as well as State, local and town regulations.
