Rowing Information

In this area of our website we have compiled some general information that we believe may be of interest to both competitive and recreational rowers. We invite club members to submit ideas and materials for additional information in this area.

Rowing Basics This page, provided by USRowing, provides eleven basic insights into the sport of rowing. These cover terminology, equipment, rowing formations and skills, and other areas. This is a great introduction for anyone new to the sport, either as a competitor or recreational rower or as a spectator.
 
Rowing Links This page has links to websites containing information on regattas, rowing tips, camps, boat maintenance and repair and purchasing options, and many other areas of interest. We have grouped the links into categories including: Local Rowing Information, National Rowing Information, and Rowing Merchandise.
 
Glossary of Rowing Terms This page contains a list of rowing commands and terms. Understanding the coxswain's commands is essential for safety and good teamwork and mastery of the basic terms of rowing is very useful for novice and experienced rowers alike.
 
Concept2 Indoor Rower This page describes the Concept 2 Indoor Rower, often called an "erg" machine. The page has an animated photo showing proper rowing technique and an interactive tutorial on its microprocessor-controlled display that allows you to view the progress of your workout and to look back on your performance when you are finished.
