Please join us on Tuesday, November 24th for a Zoom call to discuss plans for the winter training season. The login details were sent by email.

As temperatures drop and we leave the river for land-based training, we need to adapt our winter program to account for the challenges of COVID while still providing for the physical conditioning and mental well-being of our athletes. The coaches and the board have been researching options to develop a program and to find a venue that meets or exceeds the requirements of our state and local authorities as well as those of US Rowing. We also must be ready to adapt as conditions change for the better or worse. On Tuesday night, we will discuss our findings and request your input.

With a lot of planning, hard work, and a little luck, we had a surprisingly strong fall season. We were able to recruit an enthusiastic and promising class of novice rowers and we kept our varsity team engaged and in good spirts. Our athletes made gains in their rowing skills as well as their physical and mental strength. Most importantly, the program was able to provide ongoing relief from the isolating effects of all the COVID restrictions while many other outlets were canceled and closed.

We're hopeful that with more planning and support, we can continue into the winter. We'll see you Tuesday night.

Whitman Crew is excited to announce the launch of Access to Crew, a new program designed to support the sport of rowing--both at Whitman and beyond in our local community. The program will:

• provide scholarships to Whitman kids from economically diverse backgrounds;
• support the excellent work of Baltimore Community Rowing's Reach High Rowing Program; and
• create opportunities for our athletes to get involved with volunteering.

Please donate now to give economically diverse students a chance to experience the life-changing impact of crew. Our goal is to raise $20,000 and we're already half-way there! Donations are entirely voluntary.
