.:Co-Curricular Reflection:.

Rowing is a great sport which I strongly encourage everyone to get involved in. This was my second year as apart of the ‘rowing family’, it was a great season that has provided me with many pleasant memories. Rowing is a sport which requires a large amount of determination and dedication. It involves three morning training sessions a week, that take place at TSS rowing shed at 5am. There is also an x-training session which entails a lot of sit-ups, lunges, push-ups etc. As a co-curricular, its fun keeps you fit, and allows you to become more organized with all your school work. I initially signed up for rowing because I’m not a very athletic person; therefore I’m hardly good at any sports other then snow skiing and lawn bowls (I know that’s lame). I thought that I could possibly be good at rowing which I can say, I haven’t proved wrong. For all people who think rowing is a really hard sport, it is but at least it doesn’t involve too much hand-eye coordination, something that I don’t have a lot of. Something rowing hasn’t gotten rid of, in case it probably intensified it, is my fear of sharks. I’m not going to lie to you; there are bull sharks in the river we row on. Apart from that, rowing is great, join up for next season!
