Students are encouraged to learn in boats which are on the stable side for their skill level, but may try the trickier boats toward the end of their instruction period. Henry's school was the best thing that ever happened to my sculling. Sculling allows one to choose the level of exertion in a low impact, fluid action because the body's weight is supported by the boat.
Sculling works the body symmetrically and has proved to be good therapy for many injuries.
The skills developed in sculling transfer readily to sweep rowing. Many school and college athletes have found that our sculling course has greatly improved their rowing performance when they return to school.
