The Keys to Sweep Rowing

  • Good length forward and @ back stops.
  • Outside hand being dominant-leading the oar handle forward- leading the accelerated finish.
  • Tapped out, CLEAN finish, FLAT wrist, STRAIGHT arm.
  • Reaching around the pin, giving a long reach and long finish, good swing.
  • Shoulder girdle staying parallel with the handle at both catch and finish. As per photo of SSW in VIII.
