What are the benefits of rowing?
Unlike other sports, rowing has no stress impact on the body, no contact with opponents and boys are taught to row in quad sculls in their younger years, which encourages even development of muscles. There is great camaraderie and mateship in the rowing community. The philosophy behind rowing at Newington is for boys to: be the best they can be, develop their physical fitness to a top level, gain an understanding of team work, develop a strong work ethic, develop mental resilience, learn to take responsibility for one’s own actions and learn how to be an effective leader.
