Safety
At CARA we take our members safety very seriously. We use our experience of rowing on the sea and dealing with tides and waves to provide our own safety guide below, but we also we provide recommend that all members adhere for British Rowing guidelines and the Row Safe Guide.
We advise all clubs officers and CARA members to read this information and and consider their safety and that of those around them at all times.
