Relay Tips

  1. If you have time, do each challenge more than once. The second time is almost always faster.
  2. On the changeovers, have one team member hold the seat ready for the next rower to sit down.
  3. Practicing the changeovers so they are fast will greatly improve the team's performances.
  4. On the last stroke before the changeover make sure the next rower grabs the handle. Don't let it go or twist it to the side.
  5. To add extra excitement, challenge your nearest school to a head to head race.
  6. Cheering and encouragement from class mates often improves performance.
  7. Above all - work as a team.
