[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something else to consider is the prevalence of injuries. My freshman daughter is on a crew team and probably 1/3 of her team has suffered injuries, ranging from long-term and severe tendonitis to back problems to shoulder injuries. It's tough, tough, tough. That said, it attracts an awesome group of kids -- very hard-working, motivated, serious, down-to-earth. No prima donnas there. [/quote]That's surprising. As a 59-year-old rower, I love it because it's a low-impact, full-body workout and seems so much easier on my body than other sports. Also, I turned to crew in college because I blew out my knee playing field hockey. I would assume that kids would be less likely to get injured through rowing than other sports but then the level of workouts at the college level is so much more intense than when I was in college so maybe I'm wrong about that?[/quote]
