USRowing Required Online Waiver

All TYRA rowers and coxswains are required to have a signed online USRowing waiver on file. Instructions on how to complete this waiver can be found on the registration page under "Download Forms".  This waiver must be completed prior to the rower's first practice.

Medical Release

While TYRA does not require its athletes to submit a written, pre-participation medical authorization to participate in TYRA programs, each athlete and the athlete's parent or guardian should be aware that rowing is a high-endurance sport, and rowers who have any pre-existing cardiac abnormalities may be at risk of sudden death or serious injury while participating in TYRA programs.  TYRA highly recommends that each athlete undergo a physical exam with cardiac screening (including an ECG) to determine if he/she has any contraindication to any strength training or high-endurance activity, such as rowing.  The athlete and his or her parent(s) or guardian(s) acknowledge receipt of this admonition and agree that neither TYRA nor any of its representatives or agents is liable for any injury or death that may occur while engaging in TYRA programs (and specifically during workouts, practices or competitions) as a result of any medical condition (known or unknown) of the athlete.
