Although the earliest recorded references
to rowing date back to 1430 BC, the first
known "modern" rowing races began
from competition among the professional
watermen in the United Kingdom that
provided fe
rry and taxi service on the River
Thames in London. Prizes for wager races
were often offered by the London Guilds
and Livery Companies or wealthy owners of
riverside houses:The oldest surviving such
race, Doggett's Coat and Badge was first
contested in 1715'and is`still held annually
from London Bridge to Chelsea.

Rowing is one of the few non-weight bearing
sports that exercises all the major muscle
groups, including quads, biceps, triceps,
lats, glutes and abdominal muscles. Rowing
improves cardiovascular endurance and
muscular strength. Rowing is a low impact
activity with movement only in defined
ranges,so twist and sprain injuries are rare.

There are many differing sets of rules
governing racing and these are generally
defined by the governing body of the sport
in a particular country—e.g.,British Rowing
in England and Wales, Rowing Australia
in Australia, and USRowing in the United
States. In international competitions, the
rules are set out by the world governing body,
the Federation Internationale des Societes
d'Aviron(FISA).The rules are mostly similar
but do vary; for example, British Rowing
requires coxswains to wear buoyancy aids at
all times,whereas FISA rules do not.

In all boats,with the exception of single
sculls,each rower is numbered in sequential
order,low numbers at the bow,up to the
highest at the stern.The person seated on the
first seat is called the bowman,or just`bow',
whilst the rower closest to the stern is called
the`strokeman'or just`stroke:There are
some exceptions to this-some UK coastal
rowers,and in France,Spain,and Italy row-

The distinction between rowing and other
forms of water transport, such as canoeing
or kayaking, is that in rowing the oars are
held in place at a pivot point that is in a fixed
position relative to the boat, this point is
the load point for the oar to act as a second
class lever(the blade fixed in the water is the
fulcrum).Racing boats also have sliding seats
to allow the use of the legs in addition to the
body to apply power to the oar. The rowing
boats require oars on either side to prevent
them from rolling over.

It is a privilege to write this letter of support for a new rowing facility located in Clermont,
Florida. The potential of this facility to add economic development to Lake County and the State
of Florida is very exciting. I feel that a new boat house and competition rowing course has the
potential to make Clermont and Lake County a rowing destination for training and competitions.
The addition of this new rowing facility could be a real jewel in Lake County and will be used by
many of our residents,regional visitors,and out of state guests for many years to come. I hope
Lake County will support this endeavor.

Dear Mr.Heath:
It has come to my attention that the City of Clermont is interested in developing a rowing facility
within its limits,on Lake Minneola. Commissioner Parks has spoken about this in the past,and I think it
is a good idea. Not only would organized rowing activities capitalize on our unique lakes, but such
activities would have a positive economic development impact to Lake County. Once established, a
rowing facility would augment nicely the recently unveiled economic development branding for South
Lake County centered on health and wellness. One can only imagine the many participants,friends and
families that will be visiting South Lake County for training and competitions on our beautiful lakes!
Without a doubt this type of activity will help generate additional business for ow existing business
establishments and also favorably impact new business development and job creation.
I encourage Lake County to consider supporting this concept and,if you and the commissioners
agree, to assist in making this vision of The City of Clermont's a reality. If I can be of any assistance
please feel free to contact me. Thank you.
Respectfully,

Dear Mr.Teske:
I write to you as the CEO of the United States Rowing Association(USRowing)in support of the Lake
County Rowing Association's proposal to develop a rowing club and regatta site in Lake County,
Florida. USRowing is the national governing body of the sport of rowing as recognized by the United
States Olympic Committee.
USRowing has followed Lake County Rowing Association's plans in the Lake Minneola/Clermont area
of Lake County with great interest.Late in 2012,I made a trip to the area personally to visit several lakes
and waterfront locations.What I found was a fantastic opportunity for the future development of rowing
and regatta sites in your county.
Rowing is a growth sport in America with a heavy emphasis on female and youth participation as well as
a sport dedicated to the issues of access and diversity.Waterway communities across the nation have
embraced new programs and investment in the sport at locations from Oakland to Oklahoma City and
Boston to Sarasota.The state of Florida is among the highest growth areas in the country for rowing,with
youth programs expanding nearly three fold in the past decade.
Lake County's central location provides a unique advantage in hosting events for the rowing community.
Several of the park sites adjacent to waterways make for an easily accessible regatta location.USRowing
has many examples to demonstrate the economic impact,public health results and positive sense of
community that boathouses,regattas and rowing in general bring to cities across the country.
We believe in Lake County Rowing Association's proposal to develop a boathouse and regatta site will
provide great services and events in your community and we fully support this project.

Dear Mr.Heath:
It is with great enthusiasm that the Central Florida Sports Commission joins in endorsing
the City of Clermont and Lake County Rowing Association's proposal to develop a
training facility,including a boathouse to host national rowing event opportunities.
The Central Florida Sports Commission is a non-profit,private organization created to
attract international,national and regional events and spoils-related business and
activities to the Lake County community.The Sports Commission is our community's
clearinghouse and first point of contact for sports and sports-related activities and we are
committed to developing and enhancing the Lake County sports brand.
The construction of more sports related facilities in Lake County will not only enhance
the Sports Commission's efforts in attracting sports related groups to the county,but
more importantly establishes Lake County as a national rowing destination for team
training and events.
Again,the Sports Commission supports the City of Clermont and Lake County Rowing
Association's proposal and looks forward to working with all involved on this project
when the time becomes appropriate.

Dear Mr.Heath:
Please find this letter of support for the City of Clermont's efforts to uniquely differentiate itself from
competitor cities across the county in the area of sports tourism. The city of aermont is wise to leverage its
natural strengths to position itself as a leader in the aquatic sports space. By developing a strategy focused on
leveraging the natural assets of Clermont's lakes for a world class rowing venue is a smart one.
As a city you can focus on deepening your relationships with US Rowing as well as other third party
event rights holders who will see Lake County's beauty,proximity to a world class airport,world class attractions
and a visible commitment to their sport. Focusing on a few sports will allow staff and community to gain align-
ment on purpose,build valuable networks in the sport and build community pride.
I believe the citizens who already take advantage of the lakes will find this one more treasure for their
city as well as entice additional families to look upon Clermont as a wholesome and healthy living community
and one to consider for relocation.
Good luck with your pursuit on this project

South Lake County offers many ideal amenities to the rowing community—with the most important being the
lakes within our boundaries. The sport of rowing fits naturally In the landscape of our lakes. It Is a great sport
that attracts fans across many age groups and promotes a healthy,active lifestyle for area residents,as well.
Our Committee and Board understand that a vibrant rowing organization and physical presence can create a new
sports niche for the South Lake cities and towns,attracting rowers and events that would could emanate perfectly
from Clermont's Waterfront Park on Lake Minneola and grow from there.
Regattas tend to draw affluent attendees as spectators and participants. These people are likely to travel with
their families and stay for two to three days in the area where the regatta takes place. Experts say these visitors,
who might not otherwise come here If not for rowing,will spend an average of$100 per person per day.
Our Board of Directors encourages Lake County government to support Clermont In its efforts to develop rowing
infrastructure,including a boat house on Lake Minneola,so that this new sporting effort for this area can be the
catalyst in establishing a significant Central Horida rowing presence here in Lake County.
Sincerely,

Re: Letter of support for developing a rowing facility in the City of Clermont
on Lake Minneola,Lake County,Florida
Dear Mr.Heath:
South Lake Hospital would like to show its support and encouragement for proposed new rowing facility
in Clermont, Florida. We have recently adopted our new campus and community vision °LiveWell;
which aligns our goal of creating an active,healthy community with the aspects the sport of rowing would
bring to the area. Rowing provides opportunities for local residents and is an economic driver bringing
visitors to the South Lake area. On the LiveWell Campus,we have seen the immense economic impact
of visiting athletes coming to compete and train on a year-round basis and can see rowing adding to this
economic impact for years to come.
On behalf of the hospital,we hope that Lake County will support the development of this project. Thank
you for your focus on this positive initiative for our community.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Heath,
On behalf of the Stetson University Rowing Program, we support the proposal to bring
rowing events and activities to rowing to Lake County.
Clermont Is centrally located within the state of Florida and affords easy travel from all
parts. We understand that there Is a plan to install a 2k regatta course that will be
viewable in Its entirety from shore. In addition, there is ample room and ease of access
to host a 5k head race.
We encourage the growth of rowing and Its benefits to youth and adult rowers.We
would strongly consider attending regattas or events In Lake County.

Dear Mr.Heath,
I have been involved in Florida rowing dating back to 1976, and currently compete as a masters rower,
and coach junior and masters rowers.I write in support of the proposal to bring rowing facilities,events
and activities to Lake County.
It is my understanding that there is a plan to develop a 2000 meter regatta course and other rowing
facilities in the Clermont area. This central location would provide an Ideal venue for statewide
competition, as well as for the development of the sport in lake County. I have witnessed the
tremendous growth of our sport in Florida, and have reviewed data revealing a significant financial
impact benefitting communities which have hosted regattas. Youth and masters rowers also benefit
great ly from the fitness and discipline rowing develops.Lake County will be well served in advancing the
proposal.
I am confident in my belief that competitive rowers from the Tampa Bay area would join me in
welcoming another race course in Florida and would strongly consider attending regattas held in Lake
County.Please support plans to enhance rowing in your community.
Sincerely

SCHEMATIC DESIGN OF THE PROJECT INCLUDING m
BOATHOUSE & COURSE
Racing boats are stored in boat houses.These
are specially designed storage areas which
usually consist of a long two-story building
with a large door at one end which leads out to
a pontoon or slipway on the river or lakeside.
The boats are stored on racks (horizontal
bars, usually metal) on the ground floor.
Oars, riggers,and other equipment is stored
around the boats. Boat houses are typically
associated with rowing clubs and include
some social facilities on the upper floor: a
cafe,bar or gym.

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 a
double skin of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic
with a sandwich of honeycomb material) for
strength and weight advantages.
Why Row?
A Good Question with Many Answers:
People often ask rowers why they're so passionate about rowing. The answer is: lots of reasons. When
you search the expression'Why Rowe"you will get over 59 million hits.
Rowing is an incredible physical activity:
1. Rowing combines a full-body fitness sport with a recreational activity, offering a complete physical
and mental conditioning program all in one.
2. Rowing requires a minimum of skills to achieve, (you can learn to row in one afternoon), yet will
remain a challenge throughout the years as you continue to improve.
3. People of all ages, sizes, and physical limitations can learn to row and achieve a level of
accomplishment that is both physically beneficial and personally rewarding. Rowing is now
recognized as an effective means of therapeutic conditioning used in various applications, from
joggers with bad knees to those with physical handicaps.
4. Rowing puts you in a unique and refreshing atmosphere - far from the madding crowd - one that
stimulates your senses while challenging your efforts.
5. You'll come to find that rowing never encourages boredom;that you'll actually look forward to your
next row,whether ifs to work out or work less. The fascinating sport of rowing, simply put, is a fun
way to stay fit.
Rowing is FUN!
Don't over analyze this-Rowing is fun.Ask the kids in the Junior program who do it..Kids and adults do
it because they like it.They enjoy the sport and each other in a way that defies understanding.Joining a
rowing club is a great way to meet new people and get in shape!Typical high or middle school students,
middle-aged adults,and seniors alike enjoy getting in shape while working out with a bunch of other like-
minded individuals. Most rowing clubs have members from 12 to 80 year olds, they have a broad range
of interests,come from a range of backgrounds and experience-but they all love rowing.
Ok,So Let's Go Ahead and Analyze This Anyway:
Rowing, also known as 'Crew', is the ultimate team sport. Success depends on all rowers giving their
greatest possible effort.Mastering rowing requires:
• Harmony-because all the rowers must swing together in unison
• Balance -because the athletes and the boat and the water are moving
• Rhythm -because to do it well requires the timing and grace of a musician or dancer
• Power-because to move the boat as fast as possible requires significant effort
• Endurance -because all of this must be done to perfection for an extended period of time.
Done right,rowing looks graceful,elegant and sometimes effortless. But don't be fooled,according to the
people who measure them, Olympic rowers are the world's most physically fit athletes. The sport
demands endurance, strength, balance, mental discipline, and an ability to continue on when your body
is demanding that you stop. Physically,rowing is a total body workout. Rowing only looks like an upper
body sport.Although upper body strength is important, the power of the rowing stroke comes from the
legs.
Athletes injured in other sports can find a home where they can continue to compete or work out safely.
More than one football player,jogger, or tennis player has found a happy home in a boat. Rowers can
continue to participate - including in competition - well into their 90's, and among women over 50,
rowing is one of the fastest growing sports.
Values,Role Models,and the Bigger Picture:
Many parents like the fact that rowing strengthens a sense of duty and obligation to the team that is not as
fully developed in other activities. An eight-oared crew can only go out if all eight rowers and die
coxswain show up on time. Rowing reinforces the value of teamwork over an extended period for a
common objective. Rowing teaches die value of deferred gratification, and mental toughness. It teaches
young people to go beyond self-imposed limits.
You don't have to train for the Olympics-or even compete - to enjoy rowing.We have many members
at die Stewards Foundation who never compete, but love to row and get out onto die water. If what you
want is quiet exercise and a nice view of nature - rowing is where you can go. Want to look and feel
better? Rowing strengthens your arms, legs, abdominals and torso, and finns your butt.
Being a high school rower can help you gain entrance to a better college. The best colleges in die
country have active rowing programs. Many colleges do offer rowing scholarships, especially for
women. Even if you do not compete at the next level having shown that you have the discipline and
mental toughness to compete in rowing is impressive to any college.
Getting out on the water eases stress, promotes mental strength and mental health. Rowing with other
people promotes teamwork. You can do it indoors, and you can do it outdoors. But most importandy-
as we noted above-the biggest reason that people row is because it's FUN!!!

ROWING 101

•
For most of its history,rowing has been a
male dominated sport.Although rowing's
roots as a sport in the modern Olympics can
be traced back to the original 1896 games in
Athens,it was not until the 1976 Summer
Olympics in Montreal that women were al-
lowed to participate—well after their fellow
athletes in similar sports such as swimming,
athletics,cycling,and canoeing.

ROWING 101
Appraising a crew is perhaps the most difficult role that the expert has to play in sports.However,
according to rowing experts, four major factors determine the run of a shell. These are: timing,
form,power and conditioning.
Naturally, an excellent run, the distance a shell is propelled by one stroke cycle, is the effect
sought by all crew coaches. So the first thing to perceive is whether a crew makes its shell move,
that is,whether it has a good or a poor nm.
Coaches will say that there are a lot of good crews,but many of them row diffeerently,that is,their
form varies. However,they all agree that the good crews have excellent timing. If the crew's tim-
ing is oil;the boat won't run.
Look and see if all eight hit the catch together'? That is, do their blades all enter the water to-
gether'? Also,watch the bodies of the crew-see if they all move in unison,or if there is a break.
The former naturally, spells results while a lack of uniformity means additional check,therefore
retarding the run.
All good crews have power and drive,for it takes a certain amount of horsepower to move a giv-
ing
iving weight through water,and of course,the athletes must be in top physical condition in order to
keep their timing and form and power for the entire race.
Crew coaches look for tall athletes, for they can apply additional leverage, get a longer reach.
However,size is not everything,especially if the individual doesn't have other prerequisites-tim-
ing,form,power and condition.

The Ultimate Sport
The boats for competition were traditionally made from wood,but are mostly fabricated from car-
bon fiber and plastic(ie.Kevlar).
Rowing shells are .280 meters to .590 meters wide and 8.280 meters to 17.600 meters long. A
small fin is fitted at the bottom for stability.A rudder is attached to the fin or the stern(except for
sculling boats). A white ball is attached to the bow(called a bow ball for safety measure,photo
finish). A washboard prevents waves splashing aboard. Seats are fitted with wheels which
slide on runners,or tracks.
Oars are hollow to reduce weight,attached to the boat by adjustable out riggers. Size and shape of
the oars is unrestricted,the average length of a sweep oar being 3.81 meters and of a scull being
2.98 meters.
There are six Olympic types of boats, of which three are for sweep-oared rowing in which the
rower uses one oar with both hands and three are for sculling in which two oars are used,one in
each hand.
The sculling boats are single scull,double scull, and quadruple scull,the sweep oared events are
straight pair,straight four and eight. In the eight there is a coxswain who sits in the stern or lies in
the bow of the boat.

THE ROWING STROKE
The rowing stroke can be divided into two parts:The drive and the recovery.
You will learn a coordinated movement pattern built upon the following positions and phases:
The Recovery (Phase 1)
• Extend your arms until they straighten.
• Lean your upper body forward to the one o'clock position.
Once your hands and the oar handle have cleared your knees, allow
your knees to bend and gradually slide the seat forward on the monorail.
The Catch (Position 1) = •
• Arms are straight; head is neutral;shoulders are level and not
hunched.
• Upper body is at the one o'clock position-shoulders in front of hips.
• Shins are vertical and not compressed beyond the perpendicular.Balls of the feet are in full
contact with the footplate.
The Drive(Phase 2)
• With straight arms and while maintaining the position of the upper body at one o'clock,exert
pressure on the foot plate and begin pushing with your legs.
As your legs approach straight, lean the upper body back to the eleven o'clock position and draw
the hands back to the lower ribs in a straight line.
The Finish (Position 2)
• Legs are extended and handle is held lightly at your lower ribs.
Upper body is at the eleven o'clock position—slightly reclined with good support from your core
muscles.
• Head is in a neutral position.
• Neck and shoulders are relaxed,and arms are drawn past the body with flat wrists.

DON'T FORGET TO TURN YOUR MONTHLY 2000 METER ERG PIECE
INTO YOUR COACH AT THE END OF EACH MONTH!
ROWING INSIGHTS
Teamwork is number one. Rowing isn't a great sport for athletes looking for MVP status. It is, however,
teamwork's best teacher.The athlete trying to stand out in an eight will only make the boat slower.
The crew made up of individuals willing to sacrifice their personal goals for the team will be on the
medal stand together.Winning teammates successfully match their desire, talent and bladework
with one another.
