WINTER CONDITIONING AT SCRC

WHAT TO BRING
Rowers should bring clothes that are comfortable for outdoor exercise. Our facility has great natural ventilation, but gets cold. Athletes will be exposed to outdoor temperatures even when training indoors. Dress accordingly (think layers)!
Here are a few things to avoid:
Clothes that are overly baggy or bulky. Baggy and bulky clothes can get in the way while rowing, and even get caught in the sliding tracks of the seat. Spandex is not necessary, but clothes that are reasonably slim-fitting are ideal for rowing.
Cotton. Cotton is fine for outer layers, but doesn’t perform well when sweaty/wet. Basic tech fabrics such as polyester are best for base layers when working out.
Valuable or otherwise irreplaceable clothes. Indoor training is not quite as rough on clothes as rowing on the river, but precious items should still be avoided.
Emergency meds (EpiPen, inhaler, etc.) in a Ziploc bag
Sneakers (comfortable for running, lifting weights, erging, etc.)
Water bottle
Payment on your second visit, if not paid online or in advance
LOCATION & SAFETY
SCRC is located at an ideal location on the Allegheny River, offering the calmest stretch of water in Pittsburgh. Our “pool” is home to several islands (including a State Park), and beautiful tree-lined shores home to beavers, bald eagles, and post-industrial relics.
Coaches and counselors are certified in First Aid and CPR, and subject to a full criminal background check.
We take safety seriously! River and weather conditions are monitored on an hourly basis, and we take every possible measure to ensure that everyone enjoys their time on the water (as well as indoors).
