What are the dangers of rowing when the weather or water is cold?
Question Type
Loading image…
If you wear the proper gear there is no danger
If there is a safety launch on the water there is no danger
Rowing becomes uncomfortable in cold weather
Flipping is much more dangerous – hypothermia can strike very quickly if you become submerged in cold water and when you’re wearing more layers it’s harder to swim or tread water
