what is the difference between sweeping and sculling?
Sweep rowing uses one oar per rower and is more prevalent with the larger shells know as “eights” and “fours.” Sculling requires two oars per rower and is more popular in smaller shells such as singles, doubles and “quads.” Both disciplines prepare and improve a rower for either style. And best of all, the rower’s size is not a limiting factor since events are run for both heavyweight and lightweight rowers.
