who are looking for more of a recreational program as opposed to a competitive one. The
JV participants are still eligible to race as Dal for any regattas this season, however it is not
mandatory to race. This program will train with the Adult Fitness Program at HRC, and
athletes will be able to choose how many/how few sessions that they would like to attend
each week depending on their schedules. JV is for those who have already completed a
Novice program but who do not want to compete in the Competitive Varsity Program.
