On a sunny day on a river, it can feel relaxing, on a windy day on the sea it can be exhilarating but also a bit scary. Balancing an oar taller than you are against each other to keep a relatively narrow hard plastic shell on even keel while at the same time trying to turn it slowly in your hand while controlling your body's weight so as to slowly manoeuvre up to the catch, followed by ferociously wrenching with your whole body as the oar locks into place while simultaneously being completely synchronized with your crew bodily and mentally. These sorts of skills are not easily learned and take years of practice to perfect. Rowing at a top level is a very physically demanding sport. In the Club, the participation in rowing is main done from Regatta. Regatta involves an event called Shell Games. Organizers teach participants for regatta.
- The club has:
- 2 Tub scull
- 1 Coxswain Pair(wooden)
- 1 Coxswain (wooden)
- Diamond Scull
- Jr. Whiff
- 6 Double scull
- 8 Single scull
- 5 Pair
- 2 Four
The participant gets promoted for each boat. After Regatta the participants can practice on their own taking advise from organizers. Players have great platform for exposure in Rowing at COEP Tech Boat Club. Players from COEP Tech Boat Club appears in MRA State Challenger Sprint, Mini Olympics Rowing, Amateur Rowing Association of East (ARAE), AIU Rowing Zonals Selection and based on their performance they proceed their journey. The benefits apart from the general benefits of doing exercise are that it uses more muscle groups than almost any sport except swimming and replies both on strength and technical ability.
