Relay Tips
- If you have time, do each challenge more than once. The second time is almost always faster.
- On the changeovers, have one team member hold the seat ready for the next rower to sit down.
- Practicing the changeovers so they are fast will greatly improve the team’s performances.
- 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.
- To add extra excitement, challenge your nearest school to a head to head race.
- Cheering and encouragement from class mates often improves performance.
- Above all - work as a team.
