Wellbeing checks
Flag injuries and how you're feeling so coaches know you're fit to row.
A wellbeing check is a quick health and safety self-report - a few seconds to flag any injury, how you're feeling, and whether you're ready to train. It helps coaches keep crews safe and make sensible calls about who goes out and in which boat.
Wellbeing checks only appear if your club has the feature switched on. Some clubs ask for one before certain outings; others use them more occasionally.
Submit a wellbeing check
Open the check. You'll usually be prompted before an outing, or you can open it from your wellbeing or training area at any time.
Report any injury or niggle. Note anything that might affect your rowing - a sore back, a blister, an illness. Be honest; it's there to keep you safe.
Say how you're feeling. Give a sense of how ready you are - energy, sleep, soreness, readiness to train - using whatever scale your club provides.
Submit. Your check is sent to your coaches to review.
What happens next
Coaches can review wellbeing checks for their squad, so they can spot anyone who needs a lighter session, a different seat, or a rest. At some clubs a check may need to be approved before you're cleared to go out - if so, you'll be told once it's been looked at.
If you're injured or unwell, don't rely on a form alone - tell your coach or captain directly before getting on the water. Safety comes first.
If you'll be unfit or away for a while, it also helps to set your availability so coaches plan lineups around you.
