Proper rowing attire

It is important that the clothing worn during practices is not too loose fitting because it can catch in the slides of the boat. Spandex-type shorts are the best type to wear. Rowers must always wear a t-shirt when rowing. It is also acceptable to wear a unisuit. Layers of clothing are the best way to prepare for rowing in the cold weather that is common in the fall and early spring. Clothing that wicks away perspiration works best as rowers work up a sweat. This type of clothing also keeps you warm before hand. A waterproof windbreaker works very well and is extremely useful for the rainy windy days during the spring. The following is a list of required and suggested clothing:
