About SRA
Sagamore Rowing Association (SRA) has trained thousands of rowers since its inception over a quarter century ago. With numerous Olympians, world, National Team members and medallists, Sagamore Rowing Associations is one of the most established and highly regarded rowing clubs in the country. Sagamore Rowing Association has launched a dozen high school and university rowing programs on Long Island, in addition to many adult programs. With over 500 members, SRA’s mission is to promote the sport of rowing. By serving the high school, college and adult community, Sagamore is helping Long Island rediscover this traditional sport.

Types of Rowing
Sculling:
Athletes with two oars – one in each hand – are scullers. There are three types of sculling boats: the single – 1x (one person), the double – 2x (two) and the quad – 4x (four).

Sweep Rowing:
Athletes with only one oar are sweep rowers. Sweep boats may or may not carry a coxswain (pronounced cox-n) to steer and be the on-the-water coach. In boats without coxswains, one of the rowers steers by moving the rudder with his or her foot. Sweep rowers come in pairs with a coxswain (2+) and pairs without (2-), fours with a coxswain (4+) and fours without (4-) and the eight (8+), which always carries a coxswain. The eight is the fastest boat on the water. A world-level men's eight is capable of moving almost 14 miles per hour.
