In preparation for practice and competition, we want to ensure every Mercy Crew athlete has updated their USRowing Membership, either by renewing an existing membership or initiating a new membership, and has signed their Online Waiver. All USRowing waivers expire at the end of each calendar year on Dec. 31.
Every rower must have a current USRowing Basic Membership at a minimum and a completed USRowing Waiver prior to the first regatta in order to be placed on a roster for Mercy Crew and be eligible to be registered to compete.
Coaches will be regularly checking the on-line roster to confirm that each girl has joined USRowing and has signed the waiver prior to registering for spring regattas.
US Rowing Membership – Join or Renew
If you are a new athlete and this will be your first USRowing membership:
- Go to membership.usrowing.org
- Under Individuals, click Join
- Enter the athlete’s name, date of birth, and gender. Note: You must spell the athlete’s first and last name in USRowing identically to the first and last name that you used when you registered the athlete in Regatta Central. You must also ensure that the athlete’s birthdate is entered identically in both USRowing and Regatta Central.
- Enter an email. Note: The primary email you provide here will be used for password resets. Enter the email of the individual who will most likely be managing this account. USRowing can change this if necessary.
- Enter the club or team name: Our Lady Of Mercy High School (Rochester, NY), USRA Member #1608.
- Click the Search button. Note: You will be sent a code to enter to verify email.
- Select “Basic Membership” for $25.00.

If you are already a USRowing member, check your membership expiration and waiver status:
- Go to membership.usrowing.org
- Under Individuals, click Log In
- Submit your member number and password
- On your profile page, check the membership expiration date. If it has expired, select Renew and follow the instructions. (If your membership will expire before then end of the rowing season, you must renew prior to the end of the season).
- On your profile page, check the waiver status. If this is not current, you must sign a new waiver.
With a membership and an online waiver signed, you are ready to compete! Each team member must complete these two things in order to compete in a regatta.
