Rowing
If you think skimming aerodynamically over the water under your own muscle power would be a blast, then rowing is for you.
It’s all balance, timing and teamwork. Slipping into a boat and pulling solo or with friends develops muscle power, endurance and great friendships.
Rowing is a fun way to get to know yourself and others.
~ Ray Lambert, 2006
What started as a transportation method in ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt, has
since turned into one of America’s favorite sports - rowing. Rowing is the first team
sport contested in the U.S. and continues to be a popular competitive sport among
many schools.

Did you know some physiologists say rowing in a 2,000-metre race requires the same level of work as playing two basketball games back-to-back? Or that astrophysicist Stephen Hawking was a coxswain?
