UVRF 2010 Membership

Become a Member

Membership in UVRF is open to everyone. All members of UVRF pay an annual membership fee, which is set by the Board of Directors and applies equally to all members. The fee is due at the start of the rowing season (or for new members, upon joining), and covers the shared operating expenses of our organization.

Membership Fees:

• Individual: $125
• Family: $200

Individual and family members are eligible to vote in our annual meeting. We encourage all members to participate actively in helping us to serve the needs of our rowing community.

Membership includes:

• Membership voting rights
• Access to sculling boats**
• Access to sweep & sculling programs (additional fees apply)
• Access to social functions

**Use of club sculling boats is included in the membership fee for participants in our sweep programs and private scullers who rent rack space from UVRF. For all others, club boats are available for an additional $175 fee.

UVRF Required Swim Test:

A swim test is required for ALL UVRF members. Everyone participating in UVRF rowing programs or using UVRF facilities and equipment must pass this test. The swim test, which is good for five years, is a club requirement that is consistent with USRowing safety recommendations. All tests will be administered by UVRF or its chosen designee, and will consist of the following: wearing rowing clothes, each person has to tread water for 10 minutes, then swim 50 yards, then put on a life jacket that is thrown into the water, and then swim to a ladder and climb out of the pool.

One swim test session will be scheduled in 2010:

When:  Monday, June 21, from 7 - 8 AM
Where: The Dartmouth pool

This swim test session follows the first tank session for the novice rowing program.

If you cannot make this date, you will need to schedule your own private swim test at the Dartmouth pool.  The pool is open from 10 AM to 2 PM Monday through Friday. The cost is $10, payable to the lifeguard on duty.
