- Only licensed drives are permitted to drive a motor boat
- Rowers are to be supervised at all times
Duty of Care at Regattas
Rowing regattas are not school-supervised events. The Director of Rowing and Rowing Coaches are responsible for organising and running the rowing program at school regattas. While on the water, rowers will be under the supervision and care of Rowing Tasmania officials. During team meetings and prior to races, rowers will be supervised by coaches. In between races and before and after the regatta parents/carers are responsible for the supervision and duty of care of their child. The Director of Rowing will be available to assist with any issues that may arise. A St John's Ambulance will always be onsite at every regatta.
