HOW TO PLAY
1

Team members sit in a row of benches, each holding a paddle prop.

2

A caller sets a steady rowing rhythm that everyone must match together.

3

Every so often the caller calls 'switch,' and rowers must swap the paddle to the opposite side without breaking rhythm.

4

Anyone who rows out of time or on the wrong side costs the team a point.

5

The team with the fewest points after a set routine wins.
