The sport of dragon boat has penetrated the waterways around the world and has recently been identified as the fastest growing water sport in Australia. It is no surprise with each crew comprising 22 people! Dragon boating is a unique sport in its ability to attract a broad demographic of members with varying cultural and occupational backgrounds as well as varying degrees of age and fitness. As a result, dragon boat clubs are being set up in Sydney and across the state of New South Wales all the time.
Dragon boating is the ultimate team sport with perfect timing imperative to a crews success. For this reason dragon boat has become a popular team building activity for corporate days and an enjoyable cross training or social day for people who enjoy a bit of a challenge.

At a public Meeting held in Forster on Friday 19th June, it was unanimously agreed to start a dragon boat club in the area. The new club is to be called "Great Lakes Oyster Dragons" . On behalf of DBNSw we welcome them to the dragon boat family and look forward to seeing them at their first regatta! |

Hi all, The DBNSW web team has recently given dbnsw.org.au a "Pimp My Ride" in several areas! Among other star attractions is a Google Maps upgrade. DBNSW can now accurately generate directions for prospective paddlers to your club training facilities, so your trial paddlers need not get lost ever again. If your club is a Sydney City/Metropolitan club, and you normally find that you're unable to clearly describe the surroundings of your training location, or nearby landmarks, you can even make use of StreetView, embedded into dbnsw.org.au. |
