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 singles, doubles, and eights, depending on the number of rowers. Rowing can be both a competitive sport and a recreational activity, often taking place on rivers, lakes, or coastal waters. Rowers require physical strength, endurance, and teamwork, especially in crew boats where coordination is essential. The sport is governed by organizations like FISA (the International Rowing Federation), which sets rules for competitions and events. Rowing is also a popular activity in many schools and universities, promoting fitness and camaraderie among participants.
