The Sport
Rowing is for EVERYONE, not just collegiate and Olympic athletes. It is a non-impact activity, which can be enjoyed out-of-doors, year-round, by persons of all ages (teens to octogenarians) of both sexes...and Hilton Head Island provides an ideal setting.
It does not require the eye-hand coordination and agility of tennis; it does not require the time nor lead to the frustrations of golf. A rower can burn calories faster than by running, swimming or cycling. Even at a slower pace, one can enjoy the feel of a boat sliding silently through the water while watching birds or dolphins or viewing the rising sun. You won't find a more interesting place to workout anywhere!
Sculling is rowing with one hand on each of two oars, generally in a "single". In "sweeps" rowing 2, 4 or 8 persons are seated in line in a boat with each rower holding one oar. Often there is a forward-facing coxswain in the stern to steer the boat and direct the rowers.
