What is sculling in swimming?

Answer 1

Sculling is a type of rowing where the rower controls two oars (vs. sweep rowing when each rower has one oar). A scull is the shell of a boat that is rigged (set up for) sculling.

A boat for one person, a single, is also commonly called a scull. The two words are used synonymously.
a "scull" is a type of rowing boat. A sweep oar boat is where each rower has only one oar, on alternate sides down the boat, and a sculling boat is one where each rower has 2 oars, one in each hand. A sweep rowing boat can hold 1, 2, 4 or 8 rowers, and a sculling boat can hold 1, 2 or 4.

Answer 2

1. A long oar used at the stern of a boat and moved from side to side to propel the boat forward.

2. One of a pair of short-handled oars used by a single rower.

3. A small light racing boat for one, two, or four rowers, each using a pair of sculls.

Answer 3

The term sculling refers to an activity very similar to (and often encompassed by) the sport of rowing. A scull is a long, thin boat that usually sits one or two people (sometimes, but more uncommonly, four people). Each person in the boat is referred to as a sculler. Each sculler has two oars, one on each side of the boat. The seats of each sculler are on wheels allowing the person's body to slide toward the stern of the boat with each stroke. The progression of the sculling stroke is as follows: 1. start from a position with legs out straight and body leaning back toward the bow of the boat with arms pulled in to chest 2. straighten out the arms pushing the handle of each oar away from the body, keeping the blade of the oar above the water 3. lean the body over the legs (which remain straight) sending the oar handles further into the stern 4. slowly bend the legs toward the stern keeping the body at an angle toward the bow and arms outstretched (this will bring the body into the stern as the seat slides along the tracks) 5. once the legs are fully compressed and the blades of the oars are perpendicular to the water's surface, lift up on the oar handles dipping the blades of the oars into the water 6. push down with the legs 7. lean back toward the bow 8. pull the arms into the chest, all the while pulling the blade of each oar through the water in a powerful stroke. This is sculling!

Answer 4

Sculling is when you move your arms in a swishing motion at your side. Your fingers should stay together if you want a harder workout and vice versa if you want an easier work out.
