-- Posted by lizzy4312 at 8:58 pm on Nov. 22, 2008 I have just recently learned about women's rowing and how even at division 1 schools you don't need to have any prior experience to play. I started playing basketball at a division 3 school but hate it and am thinking about transferring to a division 1 school and going out for rowing. Can anyone give me more information? or what to do to get in shape/practice etc.? Thanks! -- Posted by peppermintchalk at 9:00 pm on Nov. 22, 2008 that's pretty cool i'm on a crew team, although i'm a coxswain, and not a rower. running and core are key. and then there's erging.... -- Posted by Pagie1 at 9:02 pm on Nov. 22, 2008 sorry no clue.
