Membership Requirements
Note: these requirements do not apply to “free trial” rowers. If you want to participate in a free trial please do not continue with this process. Go back to the Registration page and register for the No Cost Trial Session.
Please note: The waivers and agreements, and other requirements such as a swim test if required, must be completed prior to the rower's participation in training activities. No rower is eligible to attend practice before registration is complete, all documents are signed and received and the USrowing membership is up to date. Rowers that have not completed all requirements will be unable to attend water practice or participate in land practice activities. Eugene Rowing Club assumes no responsibility whatsoever for non-members, including any responsibility for anything that happens to them as a result of not being allowed to participate in practice.
We also recommend you review our Participant Handbook and Participant Safety Policy for additional information regarding our organization.
