Rowing is a sport, whose roots come from Ancient Egyptian times. It requires participants to propel the boat on the water using oars. People take up rowing for recreational or fitness purposes, or even competitively, where athletes race against each other in boats. These competitions are categorised based on the type of boats that athletes use to compete, which can range in size from an individual shell to an eight-man shell. There are over 100,000 participants across Australia.
