Students who will be away in August for more than a few days will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Crew is currently the fastest growing sport in the United States at the collegiate level, particularly among women due to the substantial amount of scholarship money available to women rowers as a result of Title IX. Watuppa Pond is currently the only body of water in New England approved for Olympic competition. Bay Coast Rowing Center coaches are highly skilled and special guest coaches include Olympic medalists.
