Did you know that Great Britain has won more Olympic medals in rowing than any other sport, apart from athletics, since the games began?
From recreational rower to GB junior, LYR offers unique opportunities for you to take part in this terrific sport. And with The Thames flowing right through the middle of our capital city, there’s no excuse not to get onto the water!
What makes LYR different?
Two things: our rowing coaches are second to none, and the London-wide LYR framework gives you opportunities and resources that you could not possibly get from one club.
LYR coaches are an enthusiastic, highly qualified and experienced team who encourage you to be the best you can be. Thanks to LYR, they can focus all their talents on junior rowers at our affiliated clubs – currently: Royal Docks Rowing Club at the London Regatta Centre; Lea RC in Hackney; Globe RC in Greenwich and Barn Elms Boathouse in Wandsworth. See Where we are for maps and directions.
Rowing and Sculling (that’s rowing with two oars, not one) are great fun, and once you start, you will be hooked. Everyone loves messing about in boats!
