Do rowers need flexibility?

Yes. Flexibility is a critical element in good rowing. Hamstring flexibility is key to setting forward body angle out of the finish without bending the knees too early and thus triggering a rush of the slide; flexibility in shoulders and back is key to getting good extension at the catch (without lunging or collapsing in an effort to get more length). Powerful legs and core strength are, of course, also very important, but flexibility is just as important in my view. This is especially true as rowers age and begin to lose length in the stroke, but it's important at any age.

What is the most strenuous exercise running or swimming?

it depends on how you define strenuous.

swimming is much better for your joints, as well, swimming probably uses more musles than running, as it is a whole body exercise.

when swimming, you are forced to hold your breath, which exercises yor lungs and therefore the rest of your body much more than if you were running.

there is also much more resistance when swimming (because of the water) making if much harder to swim a distance (ie.400m) than it would be to run it. (the world record time for 400m freestyle is 3:40.7, whereas, in track, it's 00:43.19 so obviosly, its alot more difficult to swim.)

What would cause a goldfish to die suddenly with no signs Swimming around fine 2 hours later died and looked like he had been dead for days?

The water might have been too hot or too cold, or it may have been overfed. If you put too many cleaning tablets in the tank they can be poisonous too. Some fish just don't like very long no matter what you do.
