An oar is often referred to as a blade in the case of sweep oar rowing and as a scull in the case of sculling. Source: Internet

Commonly used sculls include support scull, stationary scull, propeller scull, alligator scull, torpedo scull, split scull, barrel scull, spinning scull and paddle scull. Source: Internet

Support scull is performed by holding the upper arms against the sides of the body and the fore arms at 90-degree angles to the body, with hands facing the bottom of the pool. Source: Internet

The support scull is used most often to support the body while a swimmer is performing upside down. Source: Internet

The symmetrical forces also make sculling more efficient than rowing: the double scull is faster than the coxless pair, and the quadruple scull is faster than the coxless four. Source: Internet
