Rowers are individuals who participate in the sport of rowing, which involves propelling a boat through water using oars. This activity can be done in various types of boats, including single sculls, doubles, and eights. Rowing can be both a competitive sport and a recreational activity, often taking place on rivers, lakes, or coastal waters. Rowers typically work in teams, coordinating their movements to achieve maximum speed and efficiency. The sport requires physical strength, endurance, and teamwork, as well as technique to ensure proper form. Rowing is governed by organizations such as FISA (the International Rowing Federation), which oversees competitions and events worldwide.
