Newsletter June 2023 - SSYRP

June 2023

From June to August the Scullers are going into summer mode. The temperatures are rising in the next month to the hottest points of the year and the training is scheduled early in the morning.

The summer training attracts all (not in holiday) of our athletes to show up every time. The Clubhouse is in constant weekly use and the athletes found their favorite workouts. The contest of the playlist for the best workout music opened up and will be published in the next newsletter.

How does a schedule look like for your athletes

Every week our Head Coach is sending out the weekly schedule for our athletes. The schedule is received by the athletes and parents through our WhatsApp channel and informs all in time what, where and when the training of the Scullers is organized. Besides the schedule our WhatsApp channel provides further informations about the training like: social events, pictures and what happened throughout the week and might happen soon.

Here you see an example schedule of our athletes

Sarasota Scullers teams up with RegattaSport

The Scullers are a committed family of rowers and we are looking forward to support the sport of rowing. Some of us are so hooked that we even start buisnesses. Our Head Coach met Chris and Joe from RegattaSport while he was a competitor and later on again while he was working as a coach in Canada … but let them tell their story:

Joe and Chris

“It all started on the water, naturally. But RegattaSports Chris Cookson and Joe Camillo first met as competitors, not partners. Chris came from several generations of rowers; Joe came to rowing as a teenager and immediately fell in love with the competition, the discipline, and the adrenaline. They both loved the sense of community, which brings competitors together in a distinctive camaraderie while spurring each other on to reach greater heights.


After rowing together at the 1987 World Rowing Championships, Chris and Joe took on a new challenge. They felt that there was no store that catered to rowers like them. RegattaSport opened the following spring in a 250 square foot space in Port Dalhousie, Ontario as the first of its kind in Canada, and one of the few stores dedicated to oarspeople in the world. Since then, RegattaSport has grown dramatically to become a global leader in developing performance gear for all levels. In 1998, they discovered the dragon boat community and added that as a major element of the business. Today, RegattaSport offers world-class performance gear for a range of water sports as well as more general fitness activities.

As former world-class rowers themselves, Chris and Joe understand that athletes are always pushing to find the edge. That includes developing custom performance gear designed especially for the athlete. RegattaSport works directly with customers and manufacturers to create innovative, technically superior products from scratch. Everything from fabric selection, construction, embellishment, production, and delivery is considered and included. The best manufacturers are selected, regardless of location, but all the custom work is done right here in North America. We’re proud of where we’ve come from, and we’ve come a long way since 1988”

So - it became only natural for our Head Coach to reestablish the connection with Joe and Chris and bring their expertise to the Scullers. The first work is done over the past months, and we are happy to open our first online shop for a short while for you (9th of July) - before we move on. See on the picture below the first four products which we put up in display to be ready for our first events:

Firstly … the regatta in Halifax and Secondly …. our Banquet 2023

We would be happy to see some of you in our gear - THANK YOU
