Arlington Crew

Each season Arlington Crew puts in one order for “team” clothing; which includes the option to buy sweatshirts, t-shirts, duffle bags, sweat pants, etc with our team name and/or logo.

Crew Clothing Orders Forms have been distributed to the rowers after their practices. The forms are currently available at the Boathouse and from our website’s FORMS page. There will also be forms available at the Parent Meeting on Sept 10th.

Orders with payment are due by September 12th. Checks are to be made payable to ARLINGTON ROWING ASSOCIATION.

For more information, contact Gina Shea at 485-1612

Notes:

• The only required clothing to be purchased by a rower is our Arlington Crew “uniform” which consists of a unisuit and a banana shirt. The orders for these items will be taken separately by Mrs. Bodley, and rowers will be measured to ensure proper fit.
• The orders for the Arlington Crew Boathouse GORE-TEX® Rain Jacket will also be taken separately. This rain jacket is not required

Arlington Crew is still welcoming new athletes for our Fall 2010 Season!

No previous experience or boating knowledge is required to be a successful rower; it just takes effort, commitment and a lot of fun. The first year rowing is all about learning and participation.
