Swing there is none, and all that is aimed at is a fast stroke. The men vary but little from the perpendicular either at the beginning or end of the stroke, and the sole means of propulsion employed are the legs and arms. The former to push the slide back and the latter to finish the stroke by pulling the oar home. There is a very general aptitude throughout the boat, however, to resort...
