Llewellyn was the Pan American Games Champion when he won gold in men's water skiing at the 2019 Pan Am Games in Lima.[2] He also owns 21 national water skiing titles to his name.[1] His father Jaret Llewellyn is an 11-time world champion, 12-time Pan American Games medalist, and owns a record 117 professional titles; while his uncle Kreg Llewellyn was also a professional water skier.[1]

Llewellyn graduated from Rollins College with a physics degree in 2019.[1] He then competed collegiately for the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns water skiing team, winning the men's overall title in 2021.[3]

Though the Llewellyn family calls Innisfail, Alberta home, they live and train in Orlando, Florida due to the fact they can train all year in Florida.[2]
