Prerequisites
All participants must complete the following prerequisites.
Float Test: This in-the-water task requires you, under the supervision of a certified lifeguard, to tread water in clothing for 10 minutes and don a personal flotation device in the water. You may do this at most Island pools. Print the Float Test Form and have a certified lifeguard complete the form. You will give the signed form to the instructor at the first class.
USRowing Membership: Go to www.usrowing.org, join using Vashon Island Rowing Club Code 9S7ZB. Print out the USRowing Waiver and complete, sign, and return it to the instructor by the first class.
