Rowing pool
A rowing pool is a sports facility that can usually be found in rowing clubs or rowing performance centers , in which rowing can be simulated in a rowing boat. You can train your endurance in rowing regardless of the weather or the season . Such a system also has the advantage that posture and exercise can be controlled and improved much better by a trainer and by mirrors for the athletes than on the open water. Beginner rowing is also done on rowing pools.
Building description
The rowing pool is usually located in a separate room or part of the building. The arrangement of the roll seats as well as on the rowing boats one behind the other, surrounded by a shallow pool of water, its size by the gear path of the belt or skulls is determined. For better circulation of the water moving through the rudder blades , there are flow passages in front of and behind the elongated rowing benches. The oarlocks around which the oars or sculls move are firmly anchored to the ground next to the rowing benches. Rowing pools are not used for endurance sports . The rowing ergometer is a sporty alternative to the rowing pool .
The fixed seating position has proven to be unrealistic and is now being replaced more and more by “rowing boats” that float in the water basin, but are fixed against capsizing.
Rowing box
Sometimes a rowing basin is also referred to as a rowing box . The term is used in analogy to a wooden stool that was previously used specifically as a seat in open row boats.
