Safety Guidelines
Wind, precipitation, boat traffic, fog and air temperature are all factors to be considered in determining if it is safe to row. You are responsible for the safety of your crew!
Determine the current water flow and water temperature.
Based on water flow and temperature, select the more restrictive of the two conditions. Zone 1 being the least restrictive and subsequent zones being progressively more restrictive thru Zone 6.
If rowing in daylight conditions, between the hours of sunrise and sunset, you may move one zone to the left (Zone 6 DOES NOT apply).
Paddling is equal to 1X scull.
Additional Requirements for Zone 6:
Crews must be strong enough to make meaningful progress upstream with not more than ¾ of rower’s rowing.
Daylight is defined above, may not shift from Zone 5 to Zone 6.
No more than 8 mph of sustained wind in the opposite direction of the current.
| Zone 1 | Zone 2 | Zone 3 | Zone 4 | Zone 5 | Zone 6 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water Flow | Less than 28k cfs | 28k to 35k cfs | 35k to 40k cfs | 40k to 45k | 45k to 50k cfs | 50k to 60k cfs |
| Water Temp | Greater than 50°F (10° C) | Greater than 50° F (10° C) | 40° to 50° F (4.5° to 10° C) | Less than 40°F (4.5°C) | Less than 40°F (4.5°C) | Less than 40°F (4.5°C) |
| Shell Type | All Boats | All Boats. For 1X, 2x and 2- without a launch, must have one year rowing experience at PRC | 8+, 4+, and 2x, Adaptive LTA racing 2x only | 8+, 4+ and 4x | 8+ and 4x | Less than 40°F (4.5°C8+ and 4x) |
| Launch to Shell Ratio | Not Required | Not required unless rowing in Zone 3 daylight conditions when Zone 3 requirements should be followed | 1 Launch to 2 shells (shells of equal speed) | 1 Launch to 2 shells (shells of equal speed | 1 to 1 | Sufficient launches to: Carry all rowers and coxes participating in session AND Have at least 2 engines as between all launches on the water (towing line required). |
| Coach Certification | Not Required | Not Required | USRowing Level 2 | USRA Level 2 | USRA Level 2 | USRA Level 2 |
| PFD Requirement | Optional | Optional | Optional | Must be worn by all rowers and coxswains | Must be worn by all rowers and coxswains | Must be worn by all rowers and coxswains |
There are various types of personal flotation devices (PFD) available. PLEASE NOTE, that some PFD manufacturers do not recommend the use of CO2 inflatable PFDs in air or water conditions below 40° Farenheit (4.5° Celcius).
