SAFETY PROTOCOLS: 

USRowing and Nathan Benderson Park are partnering on additional safety and comfort benefits to mitigate the effects of typical high temperatures during the regatta. Beyond standard emergency services onsite, water stations, and shade tents, we are planning for air-conditioned and misting tents, hydration tablets and cooling towels for all competitors, and full access to the first floor (fanned breezeway) and second floor (air-conditioned beer garden) of the Finish Tower.

The race progression will also be based off 8-lane racing, which will allow for the regatta to focus racing during the cooler parts of the day, along with giving competitors additional breaks in the schedule as they prepare for their next race.

Our medical team will also be working with an air conditioned trailer to assist with any athletes who need extended medical attention.

SAFESPORT COMPLIANCE:

This is a reminder that as of January 1, 2022, USRowing requires all individuals 18 years of age and older athletes and all coaches and support staff to complete SafeSport training and be in good standing by the lineup entry deadline. 

18 years old and older athletes can access the training by logging in to their personal profile on https://membership.usrowing.org. They log in with their member number and password, click the SafeSport button in the menu bar on the left hand side, and from the Catalog tab select the course for “Adult Athlete”. The thumbnail is green with a woman boxing. The course should take no more than half an hour to complete. 

If the enrolled course shows the NGB1 Core course, that course does also meet the requirements, but takes longer and is geared towards coaches and staff. Athletes do not have to complete that course.

If you are a coach or support staff of the team, you can access training using the same method as listed above. However, for coaches and staff the NGB1 Core course is required. This course takes an estimated ninety minutes to complete. If you have already taken the 90 min Core training in previous years, you are likely due for a 30 minute Refresher Course; Refresher 1, Refresher 2, or Refresher 3. Please note, Adult Athlete Training or Core NGB1/Refreshers are the only courses required and accepted by USRowing; any other course listed in the catalog is provided by the U.S. Center for SafeSport for your benefit. 

For additional instructions, please reference this presentation.

IMPORTANT: Starting Friday, April 29, USRowing is asking all coaches and support staff who will need access to the team restricted areas, such as the launch and recovery docks & trailer areas etc., to also register for this event on RegattaCentral. When logging in, you will come across a registration page that is labeled “SafeSport”, where you will input coach and support staff names, and then SafeSport compliance will be checked. All coaches and support staff must be on this list prior to the start of the event, and must be compliant with the Safesport requirements, to receive accreditation wristbands upon arrival to the venue. This registration form is not currently live, but will be available starting Friday, April 29. 

We greatly appreciate the time and effort that you and your staff are putting into this important training.
