2026-2027 Winter Conditioning Starts Soon!
W-L Crew Winter Conditioning runs from mid-November until the start of the spring season in February and is open to any Arlington 8th-12th grader. This is a general conditioning program with a specific emphasis on rowing—and a key time to build strength, endurance, and technical skills for the spring racing season. Sessions are held five days a week at W-L, and no experience is necessary.
Winter training is not mandatory for rowing in the spring, especially if you are playing a winter sport, but it is a great way to prepare for the spring and get to know your teammates.
Winter Training Schedule
Winter training is generally held every weekday after school at W-L. The coaches will share the exact schedule once training gets underway.
- Returning Athletes: Winter conditioning begins on Monday, November 16 with a team meeting in the cafeteria.
- Novice Rowers: Your winter conditioning will begin on Monday, November 30 with a team meeting in the W-L Little Theater at 3:30 p.m. followed by a workout.
