With community sport shut down and severe restrictions in force (see below), our young rowers are still training. 

Daily our rowers go out in groups of two to train under the supervision of our coaches. The arrangements are undertaken with military precision to ensure only two people are in the boat storage area. 

Training in winter in groups of two scullers is a challenge being met

At least there is plenty of personalised coaching

And no issue with river traffic

The latest guidelines released this week have tightened the arrangements yet further. Only professional coaches can take out the scullers. Mercantile is best placed than any club in Victoria to manage this but it is still very restrictive.

Club equipment is placed out with our rowers and ergo tests are being done remotely. Cycling and running competitions augment their training. It is innovative and excellent training.

Congratulations to our rowers and coaches.

Go Mercs.
