Manage Your Coaches and Coxswains

Add Coxswains and Coaches

Coxswains have a valuable role to play in RowHero. They provide your first line of defense for troubleshooting and will make sure you get the data from every piece, even if rowers forget their phones or run out of battery.


We recommend adding them as Coxswains in the app so they can see team data and add missing data.


To add a Coach or Coxswain, go to the Team Home screen and tap on the Gear icon to access Team Settings.


Scroll down until you see the section labeled Coaches and Coxswains. If you are a team admin, you'll see a button on the right side of the screen where you can add coaches. Tap that button.



Type in the name of the coach or coxswain you want to add and tap the plus button to add them.


You can change permissions between Coxswain, Coach, and Admin:

  • Coxswain. Can view team settings (not change them), view team workout results, add manual results for rowers. Cannot add, edit, or remove scheduled workouts.
  • Coach. Can change team settings, view team workout data, schedule workouts, add manual results for rowers.
  • Admin. Everything that a coach can do AND add/remove coaches.


Then tap on the Save Team button to save your changes.


Removing Coaches and Coxswains

You can only remove a Coach if you are a team Admin.


You can only remove a Coxswain if you are an Admin or a Coach.


To remove a coach, go to the Team Home screen and tap on the Gear icon to access Team Settings.


Scroll down until you see the section labeled Coaches. You'll see a red button on every coach.


Tapping this button removes the coach. Your changes are saved only when you tap Save Team to avoid mistakes.
