In the primary lessons: a person counted in boats, or one who rows a distance at a speed; in sport: rowers race in teams of 1, 2, 4 or 8, facing backwards; in safety: rowers wear life jackets; in stories: a rower takes people across a river

note
A counted person or a mover with speed; «rowers per boat» is a rate, so total = boats × rowers per boat. Trap: going with a river current goes faster than against it. Pronounced to rhyme with «grower» (from «row» a boat).
