HydroSport
Rowing for the First Time

Safety Cautions

Before you start rowing, as with any other activity involving strenuous exercise, you should
consult with your doctor to make sure this activity is safe for you.
Never exercise alone. Always have someone close by in case of fatigue, accident or
injury. When you are exercising, or simply relaxing, in “water” the risks of injury while being
alone are increased. If you become incapacitated for any reason, and do not have someone
available to help, you could drown.
Do NOT change your approved exercise routine without first consulting with your
physician. Your physician should approve any exercise program you use. Likewise, any
modifications to the program should also be approved before you implement the changes.
Always wear shatterproof safety glasses whenever using HydroSport equipment or
other stretch-band type of equipment. Failure to use proper eyewear may result in serious
injury or loss of sight.
Double-check the HydroSport Rower to make sure it is still screwed into the mount
securely and that it remains loose enough to ”self-align” during use.
When connecting HydroSport Tensor Cords to a Butterfly Top or HydroSport
Rower, be sure the snaps are completely closed over the rings.
Do not allow your Tensor Cords to remain in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods of time can cause the Tensor Cords to
deteriorate. Deteriorated, or damaged, Tensor Cords could break and cause injury if the
break should occur during use.
Be sure to examine your Tensor Cords for damage or deterioration prior to each use.
Do not use damaged or deteriorated Tensor Cords.
