Callum is a former LYR Globe Rowing Club athlete. He joined after Googling how to get involved during the London 2012 Olympics. He has gone on to represent Great Britain at the Coupe de le Jeunesse regatta, the Junior World Rowing Championships. He is now studying music at Cambridge University and made his Boat Race debut in 2019.
Leila heard about rowing in 2012 after her school advertised an LYR learn-to-row course. This lead to her getting involved in London Youth Games and eventually joining Mossbourne Academy Rowing Club. She has since been offered a rowing scholarship to study at the University of California, LA.

There are lots of ways you can try on-water rowing with LYR.
We run weekly Open Club drop in sessions at a number of sites across London, which are free of charge, and holiday learn to row programmes.
You can also join LYR Club, our own watersports club which runs in east London. Finally, we have relationships with a number of junior rowing clubs linked to LYR, if you want to take your training to the next level.

London Youth Rowing runs and supports a number of youth programmes.
Our flagship programme Active Row focuses on engaging young people who are less likely to participate in physical activity such as those from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds, girls and individuals with special educational needs or a disability. Active Row works within 60+ state secondary schools across London and has recently branched into Leeds.
Our Life Skills programme uses the skills builder framework on essential skills development through rowing and learning how the skills apply in the workplace through workshops with our corporate partners.
These are two of our many programmes that we run and support at LYR, all of which focus on delivering our vision of breaking down barriers and building diversity, inclusivity and equality.
