USRowing Launches New Safety Video
USRowing has released a new safety video designed to educate and empower athletes, coaches, and programs nationwide. The video delivers clear, accessible guidance on best practices for staying safe on the water, whether training, competing, or enjoying a recreational row.
The safety initiative, developed in collaboration with leading rowing coaches, safety experts, and athletes, addresses critical topics. The video can be viewed in two ways, in its entirety, or through individual topics, including:
The 6 New Chapters:
- Safety Starts Before You Row
- Assess the Conditions

- Safely Handling Emergencies
- Coxing Safely
- The Safe Boathouse.
The safety video is part of USRowing’s ongoing commitment to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for rowers of all ages and skill levels. It is available to the public via USRowing’s YouTube channel here.
