What to bring to the water.
WaterSun screen
Warm change of clothes for after
Sneakers
Water shoes
Extra Socks (wool)
Neoprene Booties (sold at the Arcadian Shop tell them Lenox Crew sent you)
Wool, fleece, and spandex are all good because they can still help when wet.
Rowers should also wear spandex shorts (warm weather) or pants (cold) when rowing. Baggy shorts and untucked t-shirts can get caught in rollers that the seats slide on. Also the tracks that the seats roll on can have grease on them so you might want rowers to sit on something in your car to prevent grease stains.
Cotton clothing acts like a sponge and holds the cold water very well. It is very good at keeping you cold and wet.
Spring is the key time of year when booties are a good idea because the water will be cold at the start of the season. Having warm dry clothes for after practice is also a good idea.
Where is Kripalu Beach:
The beach is located on Route 183 (Interlaken Rd.). Heading south from Lenox go past Tanglewood and the main entrance to Kripalu. The Beach entrance is on the left just before the entrance to BCD, it is before the public boat launch. The entrance is a dirt road and there is a large mound (new Kripalu septic system) and a field next to the dirt road. If you pull in the dirt road and park just before the gate, you can walk down to the beach from there. Most practices are held at the beach and it helps if you can arrange to carpool with other parents from the team. Athletes will need a ride to the beach from school and home once practice is over. When we are loading and unloading boats then we will often meet at the public boat launch.
