Rowing Aficionados!
If you want to understand what happens
at a rowing regatta you can do the FREE
online Referee Training provided by
USRowing.
Referees are the volunteers who help run the
USRowing Regattas and Head Races. If you
have gone to a regatta and been confused
as to how they are conducted, here is your
chance to gain inside understanding from the
comfort of your home!
