Paddle Towards Recovery, Wellness & Connection
Footscray Falcons welcomes breast cancer survivors looking for a supportive, enjoyable way to improve their physical wellbeing, rebuild confidence and connect with others who understand their journey from their own recovery processes.
Dragon boating is internationally recognised as a safe and effective activity for many breast cancer survivors. Research has shown it can improve cardiovascular fitness, upper body strength, quality of life, confidence, mental wellbeing and social connectedness, while helping to reduce symptoms associated with breast cancer and its treatment.
Whether you're returning to exercise, looking to meet new people or simply wanting to try something different, our welcoming community will support you every step of the way.
Why Dragon Boating?
- Safe, low-impact return to physical activity
