Dragon boating is one of the fastest growing water sports in the world.

Up to 20 people paddle in unison, with a drummer at the front, and a sweep steers the boat at the back.

Races are normally over distances of 200m and 500m. A 500m race lasts about 3 minutes.

The races are fast, loud, and colourful and this makes dragon boat racing an exciting spectator sport.

We participate in regattas held in Melbourne, regional Victoria, around Australia, and sometimes overseas.

We aim to:

• Dragon boat for fun, friendship, and fitness
• Embrace life and improve our wellbeing
• Support all those who have had cancer
• Promote cancer awareness for all types of cancer including breast
• Demonstrate people can lead a very active life despite a cancer diagnosis 
• Encourage participation over competition.
