Are there any height or weight requirements for rowers or coxswains?
No. The most important attributes of a rower are attitude, technique, and physical fitness. Rowers come in all shapes and sizes. Although being tall can be an advantage, not being tall does not mean you would not be a good rower. Rowers of all sizes are able to learn “boat-moving” skills and can train to improve their endurance. Because the coxswain does not row, smaller, lighter athletes are usually chosen for that position.
