Dragon Boating - Fun and Fitness for people of all ages!

Dragon boat paddling is the fastest growing team sport in the world, with over 50 million paddlers in 40 different countries.

Dragon boats are the world's largest flat water racing boats. A typical dragon boat holds up to 20 paddlers in pairs, a drummer and a sweep who steers the boat. Colourful, dynamic and exciting, dragon boat racing is full of spectacle and pageantry but above all else is fun!

Dragon boat paddling offers the opportunity for people of all ages to take part in a team sport. There is also an opportunity to meet new people and enjoy a healthy social life. It is the ultimate sport for everyone to learn team work and have a great time.

All year round there are regattas and festivals for dragon boat clubs and corporate teams to compete in.

Bring your family along for a day of thrilling races, fun activities and prizes. Events are open to men, women and mixed crews of all ages and any level of ability. For the keen competitor there are opportunities to compete on a state, national and international level. There are regattas and festivals held in all parts of the world.

Corporate dragon boat events are an exciting way of motivating and integrating staff from all areas of a company. Part of the sport's appeal is its ability to get everyone working together in a very short space of time, giving a real and lasting sense of individual achievement and team spirit. Corporate teams are welcome at all our regattas and festivals. This is a great way to showcase your company and play a part in keeping the young and not so young Australians involved in an exciting, healthy sport.
