the voice of authority in the boat and the link between the coach and
the rowers on the water, the coxswain is a key figure in every rowing
session. All rowers will be called on to cox. Rowers
are encouraged to sign up in advance to cox in order to be prepared
mentally and with the appropriate clothing. In addition, rowers may
cox groups (i.e., competitive or general) other than their own in
order not to lose any of their rowing opportunities. A Coxes'
Manual is available as a guide (and is available on this web
page). A coxswain clinic may be held early in the season to develop
the coxing skills of regular coxswains, especially those interested in
coxing race boats at regattas. All members are required to take a
basic written coxing test before rowing on the water.
