11:00 AM to 12:30 AM for men) from February 16, 2010 until the first
water practice. Water practices, thereafter, will be staggered according
to Varsity, Junior Varsity and Novice classifications, with one day during
the week considered an "off-practice" day per classification. Saturday's
on the water practice will commence for all women at 7:30 AM and end at 9:30 PM.
The Mens' Saturday water practice will begin at 9:30 AM and end at 11:30 AM.
Fridays at the Baierl Center (time to be determined) will be considered
optional workouts and may be used as a makeup workout for a rower who missed
a regular practice. The coaching staff must know at least one day in advance
who will be attending the optional workout. Additionally, all rowers are

and will have schedules modified to fulfill this obligation.

or have been verified by a note from school sponsor.
