Coached Sculling DetailsAt Mendota RC, we incorporate sculling into the practices for our Advanced and Competitive programs. Scullers who wish to race should discuss their training goals with the coaches for those programs. For those that are interested in developing their existing sculling skills or learning how to scull, we also offer sculling specific practices that focus on technique. Independent sculling DetailsTo become an independent sculler, you must pass both a Swim Test, a practical test and a written test. These tests are to ensure that you can safely take a boat out on Lake Mendota without a coach present. They are required for anyone wishing to scull independently out of Mendota RC's boathouse, including private boat owners. You should also be familiar with the contents of the Sculler's Manual and the Lake Mendota traffic pattern. Independent scullers must also pass a swim test every 5 years. |
