Learn to Row: Sweep
Sweep rowing is a type of rowing where each rower has a single oar held with both hands and is oriented around rowing in team boats (4+ people per boat). If you’ve never rowed before, this is the program for you. You’ll learn the basics of the rowing stroke and technique in our training barges with seats for eight sweep rowers.
