UOIT VARSITY CREW - 32 Rowers

Competitive Rowing Season end of August to the middle of November.  
(Commitment essential)

Goal:   to provide the opportunity to as many UOIT students as possible, to train for rowing positions on the UOIT Rowing Teams, to race competitively and win against other Universities in a spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship.

The UOIT Varsity 32 Rowers consist of:

•   Heavyweight Men . Eight rowers (those men who weigh 170 pounds or more) who will row in the 8+ the eight. These eight will be split into smaller boats.

•   Heavyweight Women . Eight rowers (those women who weigh 130 pounds or more) who will row in the: 8+ the eight. These eight will be split into smaller boats.

•   Lightweight Men:   Eight rowers (those men who weigh less than 170 pounds.) Who will row in the: 8+ the eight. These eight will be split into smaller boats.

•   Lightweight Women:   Eight rowers (those women who weigh less than 130 pounds.) who will row in the: 8+ the eight. These eight will be split into smaller boats.

The Varsity is composed of the fittest and most competent rowers that UOIT has. The Athletic Department subsidizes their uniforms and travel expenses to regattas. The fact is you should be as fit as you possibly can be. This is not a bad thing in itself. Given the knowledge of what we presently know re nutrition and physical health one should really be able to devote 90 minutes per day on one's own physical health. If you do, you just might find yourself in condition to row.
