How do I keep in time in a crew boat if I have a visual impairment?

If the crew is coxed the coxwains role is essential in ensuring that the rhythm of the boat is transferred from stroke to bow and that timing is immaculate to aid its efficiency. When you are rowing within the crew, the cox simply needs to ensure that they pay particular attention to timing, rhythm and coaching calls that will help the all the athletes concentrate and enhance the kinesthetic feel and feedback that you receive from the boat itself.
