...develop a stroke whose reach is naturally long enough and steady enough for the rest of the crew to follow easily. Taken as a whole, the boat runs smoothly, but there is still a tendency to row straight from the arms and lose the shoulder swing, and to rush the stroke immediately after the finish.
