If it's any help...

...you can pull a boat.

What most people think of as 'rowing' is correctly termed 'pulling a boat'. You face aft, and you pull on the handle ('loom') of the oar to provide propulsion to the boat.

To 'row' is to do the opposite: face forward, and push on the loom to make the boat go foraward.
