LTR Class Slides WELCOME to LEARN to ROW with KITSAP ROWING ASSOCIATION 1 ROWING “Harmony, balance, and rhythm. They’re the three things that stay with you your whole life. Without them civilization is out of whack. And that’s why an oarsman, when he goes out in life, he can fight it, he can handle life. That’s what he gets from rowing. —George Yeoman Pocock” Kitsap Rowing Association • Founded in August 2011 as the Indianola Rowing Association; rowed on Miller Bay. • In 2012 moved to Port Gamble; rowed on Gamble Bay. • Relocated to Poulsbo in 2013, renamed Club as the Kitsap Rowing Association; and we continue to row……on Liberty Bay. • Non-profit 501(c) 3 organization promoting team building through rowing and providing opportunities for community to experience rowing . • As a masters rowing club, KRA is an organizational member of the US Rowing Association. • Members volunteer their time and efforts to various committees such as maintenance, fund raising, safety, out reach, Learn to Row and governance to keep our boats on the water. 2 SWEEP ROWING* SCULLING 3 SWEEP BOATS SHELLS PAIR (2-): Approximately 32 feet long, 13 inches wide and about 60 lbs. Rowed by two people with one oar each. FOUR (4+): Approximately 42 feet long, 21 inches wide and about 112 lbs. Rowed by four people with one oar each. Coxswain can be in the bow or stern; boat called a bow loader or a stern loader, respectively. STRAIGHT FOUR (4-): Similar boat but without a coxswain. EIGHT (8+): Approximately 60 feet long, 26 inches wide and about 210 lbs. Rowed by eight people with one oar each. Coxswain can be in the bow or stern; boat called a bow loader or a stern loader, respectively. 4 SCULLING BOATS SCULLS SINGLE (1x): Approximately 26 feet long, 11 inches wide and about 30 lbs. Rowed by one people with two oars. DOUBLE (2x): Approximately 32 feet long, 16 inches wide and about 60 lbs. Rowed by one people with two oars each.

It’s not hard work when the rhythm comes – that ‘swing’ as they call it. I’ve heard men shriek… when that swing comes in an eight; it’s a thing they’ll never forget as long as they live.” -George Yeoman Pocock KRA at Otter Island 2017 14 THE STROKE The stroke is the set of actions to propel the boat. The whole body is involved; although rowing tends to look like an upper body sport, the strength of the rowing stroke comes from the. Motion is smooth and continuous. THINK HORIZONTAL PLANE the water is horizontal, the shell is horizontal, the propulsion is horizontal 15 STROKE CYCLE 16 STROKE RATIO Ratio is the contrast between the drive and recovery. The standard ratio for rowing is 2:1, which means that the length of time spent on the recovery should be twice as long as the amount of time spent on the drive. This ratio may slightly vary under rowing conditions. 17 ROWING TERMS for the STROKE & MOST IMPORTANT COMMANDS STROKE- complete cycle of the catch, drive, finish, release, and recovery. CATCH - the moment the blade enters the water and propulsive force applied. Immersion and force application should be indistinguishable actions DRIVE - portion of the stroke that propels the boat through the water. The drive starts at the catch and ends with the release. The main power during the drive is generated by the rower's legs pushing off of the foot stretchers. 18 ROWING TERMS continued FINISH - The final part of the stroke where oar handle comes towards the body. Power is delivered from the back and arms at the finish. RELEASE - a sharp downward and away-from-the-body movement of the hand(s), causing the oar blade to rise. Blade exits the water and the rower feathers the oar. RECOVERY- the time between the release of one stroke to the catch of the next stroke; the time the blade is out of the water. This is when the boat is moving the fastest. 19 ROWING TERMS continued COXSWAIN (AKA COX) – the person in the boat who steers and gives commands to the crew. HOLD WATER -!!!! THE MOST IMPORTANT TERM!!! This means stop immediately by breaking with your blades SQUARED in the water; rarely used and only for emergencies. “HOLD WATER” is more likely called by the coxswain, but can be called out by anyone in the boat who sees an emergency. “CHECK IT DOWN”- slightly square blades in water at about a 45 to 60-degree angle. 20 ROWING TERMS continued “LET it RUN”- stop rowing, holding the blades out of the water and parallel to the surface so the boat continues to glide. “EVEN PRESSURE”- tells rowers to pull with even pressure on both sides. “READY ALL ….. ROW” – coxswain’s call to begin rowing. “SET the BOAT”- refers to the balance of the boat. An unset boat will lean to either port or starboard. “SQUARE BLADE”- perpendicular to the water “WAY ENOUGH” - this means STOP rowing and wait for next command. 21 ROWING TERMS continued “STOP”- emergency command for all major medical emergencies. Command issued by anyone witnessing a medical emergency. more rowing terms: KRA_LTR ROWING TERMS.pdf REFERENCES: https://www.row2k.com/features/368/Rowing-Glossary/ USRowing Glossary of Rowing Terms https://usrowing.org/sports/2016/6/28/5450_132107073598309350 22 THE OTHER SWING KRA at Otter Island 2017 23 NO TEST… JUST FUN TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW 24.

  • Rowing Club Study Guide 2016
    ROWING CLUB STUDY GUIDE 2016 This study guide is a reference of topics related to rowing club and was created in collaboration with Irene Lysenko, Head of Training at Great Salt Lake Rowing and Utah State Parks and Recreation ROWING CLUB STUDY GUIDE Before the Row 1. Each club should have a safety committee that will develop and annually review all the safety rules, protocols and procedures. 2. All rowers must be able to pass a swim test, preferably including putting on a life jacket while in the water. Wearable/Safety Requirements 1. When carrying passengers for hire, or leading (coaching) other boats, the Captain/Guide/Coach is responsible for the passengers on their vessel or in guided rowing shells to be in compliance with all PFD requirements. Each vessel may have, for each person on board or in guided boats, one PFD, which is approved for the type of use by the commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard. All personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) must be used according to the conditions or restrictions listed on the U.S. Coast Guard Approval Label. Each Personal Flotation Device (PFD) shall be: . In serviceable condition; . Legally marked with the U.S. Coast Guard approval number; and . Of an appropriate size for the person for whom it is intended. 2. Know that your shell has been designed for flotation. Your boat is not a Personal Flotation Device (PFD); it is an emergency flotation device and your oars are neither a personal or emergency flotation device. All unaccompanied boats must carry appropriate Coast Guard approved PFDs.

  • 2021-Rowsafe
    Introduction Welcome to RowSafe RowSafe provides safety advice to rowers, clubs, competitions and everyone else associated with the sport of rowing. RowSafe is a simple and direct web-enabled directory. The sections contain “Expectations” for various different groups, e.g. Everyone, Clubs, Competitions, Coaches, Regional Rowing Councils, and British Rowing, the list varies a little according to topic. They also contain links to other relevant information. The Approach It is a myth that “health and safety” is all about stopping people from enjoying themselves. RowSafe has adopted the modern safety approach of trying to find the ways in which people can take part in an activity without putting themselves and others at unacceptable risk. We recognise that, in the real world, there is some risk associated with every activity. A little thought can go a long way to ensuring that the level of risk is acceptable. The need for risk assessment is a continuing theme in RowSafe. This consists of thinking about hazards and the hazardous events that they can cause. Risk can be reduced by installing “barriers” that reduce the chances of a hazard producing a hazardous event and by having “controls” that limit the harm should a hazardous event occur. This is explained in detail in the Safety Basics online learning resource. Risk Assessments can be documented and detailed but these should be supplemented by considerations of whether it is safe to do what we were planning to do. We all do this every time we cross the road. Coronavirus (COVID-19) This document does not provide specific guidance related to rowing and coronavirus (COVID-19).

  • The Rowing Shell Racing Boats (Often Called “Shells”) Are Long, Narrow, and Broadly Semi-Circular in Cross- Section in Order to Reduce Drag to a Minimum
    One of the unique aspects of rowing is that novices strive to perfect the same motions as Olympic contenders. Few other sports can make this claim. In figure skating, for instance, the novice practices only simple moves. After years of training, the skater then proceeds to the jumps and spins that make up an elite skater’s program. But the novice rower, from day one, strives to duplicate a motion that he’ll still be doing on the day of the Olympic finals. - Brad Alan Lewis The Rowing Shell Racing boats (often called “shells”) are long, narrow, and broadly semi-circular in cross- section in order to reduce drag to a minimum. They usually have a fin towards the rear, to help prevent roll and yaw and to increase the effectiveness of the rudder. Originally made from wood, shells are now almost always made from a composite material (usually carbon-fibre reinforced plastic) for strength and weight advantages. FISA rules specify minimum weights for each class of boat so that no individual will gain a great advantage from the use of expensive materials or technology. There are several different types of boats. They are classified using the number of rowers (1, 2, 4, or 8) in the boat and the position of the coxswain (coxless, box-coxed, or stern-coxed). With the smaller boats, specialist versions of the shells for sculling can be made lighter. The riggers in sculling apply the forces symmetrically to each side of the boat, whereas in sweep oared racing these forces are staggered alternately along the boat.
