- Colours: coxswains must wear the registered racing colours of their school or club (RowSA Rule 2.10.2). The SASRU rules say every competitor must race in the school's or club's recognised colours and attire.
- Tri-suits: where only some crews (for example 1st crews) wear tri-suits, they must be designed to look as close as possible to the normal registered racing colours. Alternative 1st-crew uniforms must also be approved and registered by SAROC (the South African Rowing Officials Commission).
- Headwear, undershirts and leggings: if any crew members wear them, they must match across those crew members. Undershirts must be a neutral colour or match the racing kit, with no logos.
- Weigh-in kit: you are weighed in your registered racing uniform, so weigh in wearing what you'll race in.
- Hats: strongly recommended at school regattas.
