    Rowing is a sport that appeals to people for many reasons. Rowing can be a leisurely way to spend some time on the river or enjoy the company of friends. Rowing can also be a competitive sport where athletes compete locally, nationally, and internationally. The most famous rowing in UK happens during Oxford vs. Cambridge boat race and Henley Royal Regatta.

    Rowing is available to everybody, be it on land or on water. Anyone of any age can start rowing, at school, university or a club. There are over five hundred rowing clubs, using rivers, canals, reservoirs and seas all around the UK, and their member's range from 9 to 80 years in age. These clubs welcome new recruits and offer a free trial for people interested in getting into the sport.

    Rowing takes place in many different sizes of boat, from eight people with a steersperson (cox) down to a single sculler (one person with two oars). In between there are; Fours like the one Sir Steve Redgrave was in at the Sydney Olympics, quads for four people with two oars each and pairs and double sculls.

    The best way to learn about rowing is to visit www.worldrowing.com in the Internet. For more information; Amateur Rowing Association to find out about clubs in your area and see how you can get involved.
