Sculling

Sculling is like swimming, but instead of using your arms and legs to move through the water, you use little paddles that look like spoons called oars. These oars are attached to a long, skinny boat called a scull.

To make the scull move through the water, you sit facing backward and put one oar in the water at a time. You then move your hands back and forth in a specific way, almost like you're stirring a pot of soup. This action is called "feathering", which means turning the oar flat so it doesn't drag in the water when you bring it back up.

You do this same motion with the other oar, alternating between the right and left sides of the boat, like a bird flapping its wings. This creates a smooth and steady rhythm that propels the scull forward.

Sculling is not only a fun way to exercise and enjoy the water, but it's also a competitive sport that requires skill, strength, and teamwork. Many people race in sculling regattas, where they race against other scullers on a course that's often marked by flags or buoys.
