IS THE SEASON YEAR ROUND?

TEAM TAMPA has practice in the Fall and Spring.  Both TEAM TAMPA and the City of Tampa Parks and Recreation offer summer camp rowing. We participate in races (regattas) throughout the year. New athletes can join at any time!

​

IS THERE A HEIGHT AND WEIGHT LIMIT?

No- Rowers come in all shapes and sizes! There is a place for everyone. 

​

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO PRACTICE?

Athletic clothing, socks and tennis shoes are perfectly fine for your first practice.  If you decide to continue, most athletes wear spandex shorts (similar to biking shorts) along with a comfortable t-shirt or tank top that doesn’t impede arm movement. We are an outdoor sport, so any protection like hats, sunglasses, and sunblock are important.  Don't forget your water bottle!
