row for us
Athletes from all over the UK come to Leander Club with one goal in mind – to race for Team GB. Our unique programme, funded by the club’s membership, events, sponsorships and donations, coaches athletes to be selected for the GB squad. We support them with equipment, nutrition and healthcare. At Paris 2024, our athletes won 21 Olympic and Paralympic medals.
With a reputation for good oarsmanship, good fellowship and sporting excellence, we are committed to the recruitment and nurturing of rowing talent and the development of world-class athletes.
