<p>Recently, a friend told me about crew and how awesome/fun it is. He said that it would be awesome to try over the summer, like a camp. </p>
<p>However, I'm a junior, and starting a sport is a big no-no. Also, I'm a dedicated musician and dancer, and doing research this summer.I'm worried I might not have the time. I really want to try crew, but I want advice. If it detracts from my dance or music, it could be a problem for college, right? (I have no interest in getting recruited for crew for college-this is for fun)</p>
<p>I did crew for one year, and it's not something to take lightly. It's a big time commitment, and you'll definitely work your butt off to get in shape and learn the technical aspects. I did it my freshman year, and we had practice every day after school which took up at least 3 hours every day with practice and busing to the boathouse. Your school may not be as intense (our crew program is very good), so that's something to find out.</p>
<p>If you're really dedicated to music and dance, my guess is you wouldn't have time to take on crew as well. </p>
<p>Still, if you want to try a camp during the summer and have the time, you've got nothing to lose.</p>
