Any sport carries with it a unique set of challenges in the area of risk management. Rowing is certainly no exception. USRowing is pleased to announce the continuation of the rowing safety program to assist with the challenges facing the sport of rowing.

USRowing now funds The Kippy Liddle Safety Kit. The kit contains the following items:

* Adult USCG-Approved Personal Flotation Devices (11)

* Rescue Throw Bag

* Waterproof High Intensity Flashlight

* Air Horn

* Emergency Rescue Blankets (9)

* First Aid Kit in a Pelican Waterproof Box

This kit, a $300 value, is available to USRowing organizational members for a total of $150.00 per bag (includes shipping and handling). You MUST be an organizational member of USRowing to purchase the kit. There is a limit of four kits per organization.
