All about Rowing

Rowing is a sport in which athletes use oars to propel a boat through water. Crews row together, and races can involve single scullers or team boats.

Rowing is a full-body workout.

Rowers sit facing backwards and pull the oars in rhythm. Crews can row alone or in teams of two, four or eight.

Rowing builds strength in the legs, back and arms, and it needs excellent teamwork. Rowers must match their timing to move the boat smoothly and quickly.
