You were probably thinking about how many athletes. You can row in 1x ( one man rowing with two oars ) , 2x (two men each with one oar ), 2 - (two men each with one oar ), 2+ (two men each with one oar and a cox ), 4x (four men each with a pair of oars), 4- (four men each with one oar), 4+ (four men each with one oar and a cox) and there's 8+(eight men each with one oar and a cox). But that's it ;)

This usually varies on the set up. A typical collegiate or high school rowing team will have around 3 8+ of people so around 27. Each 8+ "Eight" has eight rowers and one coxswain. A typical national team will have one of each boat class which totals to around 27 as well if you include "scullers".
First of all in rowing there are not players, they're called rowers.
In rowing there can be up to 8 rowers in a boat and 1 coxswain. This can go all the way down to a single rower (sculler; rower that rows with 2 oars instead of 1).
There need to be 8 rowers to row an 8, 4 for a 4 or quad, 2 for a pair or double, and just one for a single. This is true for practice as well as racing. A rowing race is called a regatta.
