Transportation:
For the 2020-2021 Season, we will confirm later in the Spring whether we will be able to offer this service for a fee. During the Spring Racing Season, the WTW Crew Booster Association offers weekday chartered bus transportation from/to WTW High School for a fee. Families utilizing the chartered bus to and from on-the-water practice are required to share in the daily bus chaperone duties. Some parents/guardians and student-athletes arrange their own transportation and/or carpools. If parents/guardians wish to make alternative arrangements, you may opt out of the weekday chartered bus and, therefore, will have that fee waived. Away regatta fees include chartered bus transportation for student-athletes unless noted otherwise in the "Regattas" section of the handbook.
**The regular practice bus (not the spring break bus) is now full, however, if you would like to be added to the waitlist, please email wtwcrewactivities@gmail.com.
