Sweep rowing

Sweep rowing is a sport where individuals or teams propel a boat using a single oar each, which they hold with both hands. The oars are positioned on one side of the boat, and rowers coordinate their movements to move the boat smoothly through the water. In team events, like eights or fours, each rower is responsible for one oar, and synchronized timing is crucial for optimal speed and balance. This discipline emphasizes teamwork, rhythm, and technique, making it a demanding and strategic sport focused on power, precision, and collective effort.
