It's a long time since I rowed competitively but my understanding is that the GB rowing team has an outreach programme that scours schools that have no facilities or exposure to rowing for potential future athletes. From what I understand, the first level of selection is essentially physiological... you can teach the anyone to row but you can't improve someone beyond their raw physiological potential.
