Well, I don't row, so I'm not much help. But I know SO many people who do it, and love it, despite the crazy schedule. Everyone I've talked to absolutely loves it, plus I hear it's a fab workout.
I'm joining my school's sailing team this year, to try something a little bit different, so I say go for it!
You should def do it! I did crew for almost 3 years (until I injured my hip and had to start). The sport is amazing and is an incredible workout. Some of my best memories from high school are from regattas and the people I met on the team.
The only thing you need to know about is that it will take over your life. I'm not kidding. A lot of people joke about it being a cult sport, and it really is. Your friends will be the people on the team. You will hang out with them ALL the time. You have to practice 6 days a week and you have regattas almost every weekend in the fall and spring and the regattas will either take up an entire day or an entire weekend.
I completely loved it though and if you are serious about the sport you will love it too! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
