Sculling on water
Rowing is the act of propelling a boat through water using oars, either as transportation, recreation, or competitive sport.
In competitive rowing, athletes sit facing backward and pull oars through the water in synchronized strokes, racing in crews of one, two, four, or eight.
The sport demands exceptional cardiovascular fitness and technique.

Rowing also refers more casually to any oar-powered boating: We went rowing on the lake.
