Time Commitment

What to expect

Practices will be held on the water unless conditions are not safe to row (lightening or heavy rain/flooding).  In that case, we will reschedule the practice to the next available day, or if possible use ergometers indoors.

Each athlete will need to wear rowing or biking shorts to practice.  You must bring at least 64 oz. of drinking water to practice each day as there is no running water. Coach Kaehler will have additional water available.  Porta-Johns are available in the park.   Hats and sun screen are suggested as we move into the summer.

Athlete’s requirements

Each athlete must pass a 100yd swim test which is witnessed and signed by a local swim club.   Parents must sign the US Rowing Waiver (provided), and participants must become members ($45/yr) of US Rowing.  This is a true team sport, therefore we expect all athletes to show up on-time for all sessions unless they are sick, or have an excused absence.  If an athlete has more than two excused absences he/she might not be permitted to continue.

This camp is for experienced rowers.  2k /6K erg scores must be submitted to determine the training level of each athlete.  This is will be a competitive camp.

Body Balance Evaluation

Each participant will receive a 30 minute evaluation to identify each athlete’s specific flexibility and strength imbalances.  Corrective exercises will be taught in a group session.  Everyone will receive his or her own specific corrective exercise program.  Evaluations will be done during the first week of the camp.  Time slots for the evaluations will be posted prior to the camp.

BCRA Launch/Dues

Practices will be run by Coach Kaehler unless otherwise noted.  The launch will have (4-8) US Coast Guard approved life preservers on board depending on how many athletes are on the water.

Athletes will not have to join the BCRA for this summer camp.  If participants choose to continue rowing at BCRA beyond this, they will need to become members.

Program

This experienced sculling camp is limited to four (4) participants per session.   This is designed to teach athletes how to develop power and strength to their rowing stroke.  Strength training sessions are designed to develop maximum rowing strength.

February 16, 2010

Coach Kaehler will be in San Diego, CA for the Crew Classic on March 26th, 27th and 28th of 2010.  For those interested he will be available to run you through his Body Balance Structural Evaluation process during that weekend.  Understanding your specific imbalances is key to developing maximum strength and power in all endurance sports, including rowing.  Once your specific imbalances are identified Coach Kaehler will immediately show you how to implement your specific corrective exercise program.  You will also receive .pdf pictures and detailed text on how to perform each exercise, this is a great reference tool which will help you to implement this corrective body balance process.  The key to maximizing your power and strength and reduce your injury risk in rowing comes from proper body balance.   This powerful process has helped hundreds of rowers, runners and cyclists return to their sport after their specific imbalances were identified and corrected.  If you or someone you know has given up their favorite endurance sport because they could not tolerate the physical stresses of that activity, then they would certainly benefit from identifying and correcting their specific body balance issues.   The Body Balance Structural Evaluation process  takes about 75-90 minutes per individual so there will be a limited number of time slots available.  Sign-up today to take advantage of this unique opportunity while Coach Kaehler is in southern California.

**This evaluation process is fairly easy on the body, and will have no effect on your racing or training performance.
