COVID Safe

Melbourne Rowing Club is conducting rowing according to the guidelines advised by Rowing Victoria (RV) in conjunction with the Melbourne City Council and advice issued by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Our COVID Safe Rowing plan is found here.

Members planning to row will be required to abide by training rules which have been extensively considered in conjunction with RV guidelines.  These rules are for the personal safety of every member and the rowing community.  Until further notice, members are required to accept these terms prior to rowing.

Training rules:

  • Financial members only
  • Do not attend the club or train with any COVID symptoms or after close contact with a COVID positive person
  • The instructions of the nominated Safety Officer are to be observed at all times
  • Practice COVID-safe hygiene 
  • Thoroughly wash all equipment with soapy water and dip oar handles in the antiseptic dip provided

Thank you for helping everyone to enjoy the safe return to rowing together.
