UPDATED: STAGE 3 Restrictions Rowing Clubs advised to suspend operations.

For Rowing Victoria's recommendations for Covid- 19 Link here.

Rowing Victoria have been informed that the Ministers Office and the Premiers office have supported the recent comments by the Victorian Chief Health Officer in relation to the use of paddle craft as a legitimate form of ‘exercise’.

This is a great first step towards getting back on the water however we acknowledge that at present, the Victoria Chief Health Officer has also continued to advise that both indoor and outdoor recreational facilities must continue not to operate. The directive remains to stay home, not to travel for exercise and that exercise is to be for a limited time, not hours. Full list of restrictions can be found on our website linked below.

We would also like to remind the members of our community and clubs to support the Covid 19 App.
