"sweep rowing" is a type of rowing stroke. 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.

Competitive rowing is a sport in which you compete against a number of different teams during "regattas". The sport it popular among the Ivy League schools, as well has a number of other division 1 and division 3 schools. Sweep rowing is different from sculling because each rower only has one oar as opposed to two. The most competitive sweep races are the races in which boats of 8 rowers (plus a coxswain) compete.
