Rowing is a sport that requires a lot of intuition. When you are first learning it can be difficult to understand how to improve because your bodies do not have the subtle muscle memory required to move the boat efficiently and effectively (aka. smooth and fast)...yet.
Take a look at the videos below to help clarify the rhythm of a fast moving crew.
Look for the things we have been working on in practice: Slow recovery, engagement of the legs during the drive, proper timing, and body control.
Watching these elite rowers and playing the clips over and over in your head as you row will help you as you develop your skills.
