Dear Rowing Parents, There are three travel regattas this season; OARS in Orlando, Sprint League Championship in Tampa, and State Sweeps Championship in Sarasota. If your child is an upper school rower or a middle school rower who moved up to an upper school boat and you are planning to attend the regattas, you will need to book your rooms NOW. The hotels fill up fast. You can always cancel, if you can't go. I was able to reserve a block of rooms at a discount at each hot

Dear Girls Parents, Practice and training is progressing nicely and we will be getting on the water more frequently, beginning this week. I am hoping we are through the illnesses and able to be more consistent with the group. Please note the team sleepover this Friday at the boathouse. Here is this weeks plan and pick up times.

Uniform ordering information has gone out. If you haven't received the email, please let me know. Not sure what size unisuit your son needs?

Does anyone have a men's unisuit size extra small, small or medium, that a few boys can use for reference? Please email me directly at kjsievert@aol.co

Hi rowing parents. Just a quick note. Please pick up your kids on time. The boathouse is different than ESJ regarding security. When practice lets out, the coaches have to stay until the last rower is picked up. Unfortunately with over 97 upper school rowers, there have been a number of days where a rower has been picked up 30-45 minutes late.
