A Boat Race

The Yacht club recently held a boat race. The captain had some difficulty deciding the order of rowing in the boat for his crew.

3 of his crew were strokeside oarsmen only and 2 of them were bow side oarsmen only. Weights and personal preferences were not important really.

In how many ways the captain could have arranged his eight men to form the crew?
