COVID-19 UPDATE:
(Updated 07/18/2020)
Both the State of Ohio and USRowing have issued protocols applicable to rowing and our return to team boats. USRowing protocols defer to state law and mandate distances of 6 feet between athletes outdoors and 12 feet between athletes indoors, when state law mandates social distancing. State of Ohio protocols permit team contact sports, but mandate that practice time spent on close-contact drills be limited. Because the entirety of practice in a team boat constitutes a close-contact drill, we cannot limit time spent in a close-contact environment. Accordingly, both sets of protocols, as currently stated, make it impossible to row team boats or conduct indoor group training, as rowers are not distanced at least 6 feet apart when seated in the boat, and 12-foot distancing in the erg room is not practical. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to suspend ACRC's summer rowing program in its entirety. The COVID-19 landscape is constantly changing, and we will reassess required safety protocols mid-August to determine whether operations might resume for the 2020 fall season. Current and future ACRC rowers and coxswains can check back here for periodic updates. Rest assured, we are keeping a close watch on new developments and recommendations from both USRowing and the State of Ohio.
