Lane use during race
Crews rowing towards the start use the water between the edge of lane 0 and the Boating Enclosure bank.
For the warm-up, crews use the first 1000 m of lane 0. Those doing so must keep to race lane use rules.
The lane drawn by each crew is only available once the starter has declared it free (see FISA rules).
For their cool-down, crews may use lane 0 between the 1750 and 1250 meter marks. Those doing so must keep to race lane use rules. After the cool-down, crews should immediately return to the Boating Enclosure. Use of the warm-up section for cool-downs is forbidden.
These rules apply from 30 minutes before the first race until 15 minutes after the last race.
