Paddled is an activity that can be done in a variety of ways. It involves propelling a boat through the water using oars or paddles. Canoed, ROWED, and oared are all activities that involve paddling, but each has its own distinct method. Canoed is done with a single-bladed paddle, while rowing requires two oars. Oared is similar to rowing, but it is done with one oar instead of two. All three activities require strength and skill to propel the boat forward.
