[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP whose child will be applying to schools without crew programs.  We love the schools in spite of their not having crew programs.  I don't think that these schools are likely to be adding a program anytime soon.

I'm curious if club rowing is much of a substitute for high school team rowing?  Thx![/quote]

Yes, it can be a good substitute.  And rowing recruiting these days tends to be pretty tied to erg scores so that helps if your child is interested in rowing in college.  One thing to think about as you go to visit schools is whether they are open to offering independent study credit (for athletic/PE requirements) to a student heavily involved in an "outside" sport.  For example, let's say the school has a PE/Athletics requirement -- can your child "opt out" if he's in a 5 day a week or 3 day a week club program?  Even if the answer is no, it doesn't have to be a deal breaker, but it's something to think about as part of the overall schedule picture.[/quote]
