University rowing is a competitive sport where teams from different universities race in boats on rivers or lakes. Each team typically consists of eight rowers and a coxswain, who steers the boat and coordinates the crew. Rowing is often practiced in the early morning or late afternoon, focusing on teamwork, technique, and physical fitness. Many universities have rowing clubs that participate in local, national, and international competitions. Events like the Henley Royal Regatta and the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race are prestigious and attract significant attention. Rowing fosters camaraderie among students and promotes a strong sense of school spirit.
