Wonderful news for Rowing with restrictions continuing to ease as of 11:59pm on 21 June. Rowing Victoria’s Updated Guidelines can be viewed HERE.  We will be retaining these restrictions and guidlines until the 13th of July or until further notice.

Covid-19 Lockdown Suburbs:

Fortunately at present there are no Victorian Rowing Clubs that are within the Covid-19 Lockdown suburbs and therefore all club can continue to remain open. We would however like to advise if you are a resident of in one of the restricted suburbs due to State Government restrictions you unfortunately will not be able to attend rowing at your club until after the restrictions have been lifted.

Waterway Rules and Safety

As Covid-19 restrictions begin to ease and rowing programs all across Victoria are gearing up to return to the water it is crucial that all involved with rowing are familiar with their local water way rules, etiquette and water traffic maps and those new to rowing, coxing and coaching are appropriately educated on the matter before commencing.

A comprehensive list of Victorian waterway maps are available on the Rowing Victoria Website

Please remember:

• Boat Lights
• Coaches helmets when on bikes
• Coaches bike lights when coaching in the dark
