[quote=Anonymous]I rowed in college (ran and swam in HS) and beyond--it's a tremendous sport, and one I wouldn't hesitate to encourage my kids to do, if they showed interest. As PP noted, it can be tough on your body. I'd make sure my kid was stretching post-practices and races and doing appropriate strength exercises. Lots of core work, squats, bench press or similar to prevent intracostal tears. But, yeah, the kids who stick with it are indeed hard-working, intrinsically motivated, often thoughtful types. It's a particularly good sport for girls and women, I think, because it places such a premium on strength. Absolutely loved my years on the water.[/quote]
