STRENGTHEN VETERAN WELLBEING THROUGH SPORT

Being active and part of a team can provide so many positive benefits for veteran wellbeing:

Improve strength & fitness – Build functional strength, endurance and overall fitness in a supportive environment.

Support mental wellbeing – Getting outdoors, moving your body and having something positive to focus on can help support a healthy mind.

Reconnect through mateship – Experience the camaraderie, teamwork and sense of belonging that many veterans value.

Be part of a team – Every paddler has an important role. You work together, support each other and share the rewards.

Enjoy the outdoors – Get out on the beautiful Pumicestone Passage and enjoy the benefits of being active on the water.

Meet new people – Make new friends and become part of a welcoming community.

Build confidence & purpose – Set goals, learn new skills and challenge yourself in a positive environment.

And the best part?

You don't need to be an experienced paddler or super fit!

Our experienced coaches will show you everything you need to know, and you can participate at a level that suits you.

FUN • FITNESS • FRIENDSHIP

Dragon boating is about more than sport — it's about connection, community and having each other's backs.

So, whether you've recently left the ADF or have been a veteran for many years, come along and give it a go!

FORMER & SERVING MILITARY MEMBERS ARE ALL WELCOME.

Come for the paddle… stay for the mateship!
