Why powered rowing tanks?
The catch in a powered rowing tank is the closest replica of an on the water catch you can find
Nothing replaces on the water rowing, but a powered tank can at least get you close. In moving water tanks, normal oars can be used, or they can be slightly cut down, and rigging (and arc) remain similar to a racing shell. Water speed can be much closer to actual rowing speed. Catches, finishes, and the timing of power application are the closest to on water rowing that you can find. This enhanced simulation is an ideal training tool for rowing enthusiasts of all levels.
What are the benefits of a tank for coaches and athletes?
​Use them for everything, from drills to higher rates. You can use an Inriver rowing tank to instill good habits in athletes of all skill levels. Set up your novices for success before they have experienced being in a rowing shell. With a rowing tank, coaches can be right next to the athlete and guide the oar or help the athlete move in a different way. With a powered tank, the athletes can feel a more authentic power application through the stroke. Athletes are also provided an important transition point between erging and on the water rowing.
​
Teach athletes accountability and independence. By having mirrors, video feedback, and even force measurement on oarlocks, your athletes can hold themselves accountable for making changes and sticking to them. It can be very difficult to make changes, so a tank workout provides an athlete with more opportunity to make technical breakthroughs that they can directly apply to their on the water training
​
Engage your community. Rowing tanks can bring a rowing experience to people who have never had access to the sport or who are just picking it up. If you are trying to increase interest in your team, a tank can be a great first step to introduce people to our sport!
