Clothing
Please wear a rowing suit or suitable sports attire. It is important to have snug-fitting clothing on the upper body to prevent the handle from getting caught.
You can swim both in the hotel pool and in the nearby lake where we will be rowing.
You do not need to bring a towel as the hotel will provide one for you.
There will be a 5-minute walk on a dirt road to reach the boatshed. We recommend wearing either running shoes or sandals for this walk.
In the morning, it may be cool, so it is advisable to bring a long-sleeved shirt and a rain jacket for the walk to the boats. Additionally, you may need a sweater or something similar in the afternoon if we plan to sit outside, as it can get chilly.
Remember to bring a cap, sunscreen, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong sun. Sunburn can occur if you are not adequately protected.
