General Questions:
The season will vary according to each school’s and college’s own schedule and regulations. Some have crew as a spring sport only, starting in February or March; others train from September through May. Some have a fall season and are off the water in the winter, then back on the water in late winter or early spring.
WBC will be open year round, with school and college seasons and with a summer rowing program starting in June.
