Rowing is a sport in which athletes race against each other in boats, on rivers, on lakes or on the ocean, depending upon the type of race and the discipline. The boats are propelled by the reaction forces on the oar blades as they are pushed against the water. The sport can be both recreational, focusing on learning the techniques required, and competitive where physical size and overall fitness plays a large role. It is also one of the oldest Olympic sports.
Participants develop sport-specific skills with an emphasis on fun, a positive attitude toward sport, and healthy human development.
Programs are delivered primarily by clubs and schools.
Individuals participate in organized and/or unorganized sport programs or activities. Even when participation is competitive, participants are motivated primarily by fun, health, social interaction and relaxation.
Programs are delivered primarily by clubs and schools.
Programming is focused on facilitating the pursuit of competitive objectives by participants, and is organized and regulated within an agreed upon set of rules and codes of conduct.
The most talented athletes perform at the highest levels of competition. Athletes require highly-specialized coaching, facilities, and athlete services.
