London Youth Rowing Visit

Active Row London is LYR's flagship school engagement programme, working with 60+ state secondary schools across London. The third iteration of LYR's school outreach programme, the programme regularly works with over 2,000 young people each year. Part of the programme focuses specifically on working with young people with special educational needs or a physical disability. Active Row London provides coaching and equipment to partner schools to run indoor rowing clubs through the winter and on-water rowing in the spring and summer. From 2021, the programme has included an increased emphasis on developing life skills alongside being physically active.

SCWA students recently benefited from a LYR workshop. The atmosphere was exciting and exhilarating; students participated in a 1 minute rowing sprint on rowing machines which LYR kindly donated.

The academy would like to say a big thank you!
