Single scull

A single scull is a long, narrow and sleek boat which is powered by just one person who is seated facing the direction in which the boat is moving. The person uses two oars or long paddles to row and move the boat through the water.

Just like when you move your arms side to side when swimming, the rower has to move the oars back and forth through the water, applying force to propel the scull forward. There are special foot pedals inside the boat that allow the rower to push their feet against them and make the oars move faster with more power.

Rowing in a single scull requires lots of balance and coordination, making it a challenging but rewarding experience. The goal is to move quickly and smoothly through the water in a race or while training, and the rower must work hard to maintain their balance and keep the boat moving in a straight line.

Overall, rowing in a single scull is a fun and exciting way to stay active and enjoy being out on the water!
