Club bylaws

These bylaws are current as of August 2023.

Lake traffic pattern diagram

The traffic pattern map is posted at the boathouse desk, rear staircase, upstairs bulletin board, and the main door. All members should review the traffic pattern and understand the meaning of the different colored buoys. If you have any questions, please ask. Additionally, coaches must adhere to board-approved safety guidelines.

Advancing to higher level boats

First, review the requirements for DRC leveling up:

Supervised Level 3 to Unsupervised Level 3

LTR classes, a flip test, knowledge of boathouse rules, logging in procedures, safety rules, traffic pattern, and 10 laps around the lake.

Unsupervised Level 3 to Level 4

Rowing skills including backing, docking, river turns, pause drill for 10 strokes, rowing on the square for 10 strokes, 15 laps (for a total of 25), and completing a flip test in a Level 4 boat.

Level 4 to Level 5

Rowing with open hands for 10 strokes, 15 laps (for a total of 40), and a timed 2K lap not more than 11 minutes for men or 14 minutes for women.

Then, email drclearntorow@gmail.com a request to be evaluated. A coach will contact you to set up a time for an assessment.
