It is a recognized Olympic Summer sport. There are 14 events in Olympic rowing - 8 for men and 6 for women. The Seton Crew Team is a high school women's rowing program now in its fourth year. The number of competing teams depends on the location of the race, and the event in which the team is entered. Land training takes place on school grounds and begins in January.
Practices incorporate mental as well as physical conditioning.
Water Practices begin on March 1 st . Student athletes work on basic aspects of rowing such as technique and teamwork, as well as increasing their stamina and strength for competitions. Though practices were grueling, these hearty crew team members still had the energy to share a good laugh at the Cargo Bay, after practice one sunny May afternoon.
