Rowing
Description: It has often been said that rowing is the ultimate team sport, where there are no individual stars. Instead, success depends upon group precision and the sum power of 8 athletes working together as a team. Row New York participants practice six days a week on Meadow Lake in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. They also participate in indoor competitions and regattas throughout the Northeast.
