Sculling is better for the body than sweep rowing.



Sculling is an ergonomically symmetric sport. Sweep rowing is not. At the US university level, all eight oared shells are sweep boats. As a result many injuries happen because of the asymmetric nature of sweep rowing.

The french lead the way in using sculling eights for young rowers. Here are a bunch of pictures to prove it.
