2. that all participants watch and familiarize themselves with the USRowing Safety Video found HERE
Participation Policy
No participant will be allowed to begin the program without submitting all required and completed paperwork, having paid the session fee in full and in advance of the start of the registered program and passing a swim and flip test.
Damage Responsibility Agreement
You will be asked to agree to this statement during the registration process: "Any damage caused by me (or that I become aware of) to boat or oars will be reported to the coaches immediately. If I cause significant damage to boat/oars, I agree to pay the cost of the deductible payment ($250)."
Refund Policies
No refund unless you decide not to use the membership within 2 weeks of joining. In that case, you will be refunded all but $25 of the fee.
Parking at the Pond
Absolutely NO parking at the beach for summer rowing for non-resident or for Harvard residents without parking stickers.
Please use the lot at the top of the hill (below the library lot). It’s a 5 minute walk to the pond on the path to the right of the road. Harvard residents with BEACH stickers who are only participating in the rowing program are asked to park in the lot at the top of the hill (not library) as well.
