This is just a simple example of some tests that can be used for assessing the fitness of rower. See also the similar NTID program from Australian Rowing.

The above tests are used for talent identification testing of rowing athletes in Australia. The National Talent Identification and Development (NTID) program at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) have developed an online talent identification tool (eTID). Through the eTID website individuals are able to submit results from fitness tests done at home, and if the results are up to a certain level they will invite you to be tested further and placed into a talent identification program.
