Covid-19 Guidelines

Covid-19 protocols for Practices and Bus Transportation

• Practice protocol

  • Do not come to practice:

    • If you are feeling sick, or even a little "off." 

    • If you have been exposed to someone who is sick or has been exposed to Covid-19. 

  • Athlete temperatures will be taken before getting on the bus for days when practices are at the Boathouse, and before workouts begin at both Wadeview Park and the Boathouse.

    • Coaches and athletes will not be allowed to participate if they have a temperature higher than 100.4 or answer yes to any of the following questions:

      • Do you have chills?

      • Do you have a sore throat?

      • Do you have a cough or shortness of breath?

      • Do you currently feel ill?

      • Have you lost your sense of taste and/or smell?

  • Boathouse workouts (according to USRowing guidelines): 

    • Mask or face covering to be worn on land (unless you are working out) and on the dock. Masks may be removed when you are in the boat

    • Maintain social distancing of 6 feet while on land

    • Bring your own water bottle. No sharing.

    • Separate dock for launching and recovery

    • Small boats only. No 8's

    • Coxswains in stern coxed boats must wear a mask

    • No loitering after practice 

  • Athletes should bring a personal bag that includes:

    • Personal water bottle clearly labeled with athlete’s name

    • Towel

    • Face covering/mask; to be worn prior to start of workout and once session concludes

    • No shared equipment or clothing is permitted between teammates

• Bus protocol - per OCPS guidelines

  • One student per available seat or up to 24-25 students per bus with face coverings mandatory. To help minimize the time in the bus aisle and passing other students, we will assign seats in order to load from back to front, and unload from front to back.

  • The bus will be cleaned and disinfected between use uses.
