How do I get my daughter from school to the lake every day?

It's easier than it sounds! Almost all of our rowers belong to carpools. Neither the team nor the school provides transportation to practices. But don't worry...you'll find a carpool to help your rower get to and from the lake every day.

In January 2009, several of our team members began riding the light rail to practice. It's an easy way to get to the lake! There's a station very close to Brophy...and then again very close to the Xavier boathouse.
