Rowing in the tanks allows rowers to continue to develop technique and proper blade work as well as conditioning. A benefit of rowing in a stationary tank of water is the stable platform provided, which eliminates the need to balance the boat as is necessary rowing on the water. By not having to steer a boat, coxswains will be able to practice commands, perfect their eye with technique, and learn how to direct rowers to make corrections. An additional physical benefit includes moving the body in an asymmetrical motion that mimics sweep rowing. Rowers will have the opportunity to row on both starboard and port sides of the tank. Tank rowing will be supplemented with work on ergometers.Rowing in the tanks allows rowers to continue to develop technique and power blade work as well as conditioning.
