Our school is trying to start a rowing team. We have access to a boathouse nearby, but we need to have some rowing machines in our gym on campus to get started with rowing in general, to use on stormy days instead of going out on the water, and to incorporate into our regular PE classes. Students who row in high school have a wonderful and unusual activity to put on college applications. Even more importantly, rowing teaches students motivation, discipline, selflessness, time management, leadership, humility, and toughness. As the rowing coach, I will use a handful of the machines to teach the basics of rowing before we get out in a boat and I will also use them as part of an indoor workout when the weather is too stormy for rowing outside. Not only does a rowing machine work the same muscles as rowing in an actual boat, but it also uses 80% of the muscles in the human body and is, therefore, an excellent tool for any PE class in a workout rotation for a group of students. My project only requests one rowing machine at this time, but I would like to get 4 more for a total of 5 at some point in the near future.
