Olympic Dreams made here

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 and events, coaches athletes to be selected for the GB squad and supports them with equipment, nutrition and healthcare. At Paris 2024, our athletes won 21 Olympic and Paralympic medals. Apply to row for us.
