What is a crew team?
The members of a crew (rowing) team are called rowers. Individually each seat in the boat is given a number, counting from bow (front) to stern (rear) with the bow being one. Either "bow seat" or "one seat" will work for the bow rower, and similarly the sternmost rower is either "stroke seat" or 8 seat 4 seat or 2 seat (depending on the type of boat). The person steering the boat and giving commands (located in the stern of an 8 and either the bow or stern of a 4) is the coxswain or "cox". A rower rowing with two oars oars (sculling) can be called a sculler, whereas a rower with only oen oar (sweeping) is just known as a rower. Also, the sides of the boat are named, with the right side (facing forwards) being starboard and the left side being port. In Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, starboard is "bow side" and port is "stroke side", as this is how boats are typically (but not always) rigged.

How do you back a rowing boat for crew?
In order to back a rowing boat, the rowers twist the oar handle 180 degrees turning the blade (end of the oar) around backwards. Then the rowing stroke is done in reverse. The blade is placed in the water toward the stern, then the rower pushes (rather than pulls) the oar handle away from their chest sending the blade through the water toward the bow of the boat. As long as each rower that is "backing" is paired with another rower that holds an oar on the opposite side of the boat who is also backing, this motion will "back" the boat down, rather than send it forward.

What does each seat do in a crew shell is any seat better than the others?
All seats in a boat are extremely important and dependent on each other. Stroke (4 seat) is in charge of setting the pace and the rating for the shell. The rest of the rowers must follow the stroke. If the boat has a cox the rest of the seats are pretty much the same, but some rowers might have personal preference. If the boat doesn't have a cox the bow (1 seat) is in charge of keeping the boat on course and instructing the rest of the rowers on what to do. Bow pretty much takes over what the cox would do. None of the seats are necessarily better but in an un-coxed quad bow and stroke are the most prestigious spots. In anything with a cox, stroke would be considered "best". If the boat is a double, each rower has a different job but both are equally important. In a sweeping boat which seat you row in decides what side you row on. Taking the question to another level of the sport, except for the seat of the coxswain, the rowers seats are on two rails. With one on each side of the seat, that allows the rower to slide forward and backwards. This increases the strength of each stroke, by the leverage it provides.
