FAQs

Why are rowers not classified under this Aquatic Sports category?

Rowers compete from a boat rather than with their own body in the water, so they sit under Water and Boat Sports instead.

This Aquatic Sports subcategory groups athletes whose competitive careers are built in or on water, covering swimmers, water polo players and divers under the same World Aquatics discipline family. Rowers and sailors compete from a boat rather than with their own body in the water, so they are grouped instead under Water and Boat Sports.
