About Us
Mission
To provide both a competitive and social experience; where individually, paddlers will be challenged to push personal boundaries to realise their full potential; and collectively, where we will work as a team to motivate, provide strength, and together achieve outstanding results.
What Is Dragon Boat Racing?
Dragon Boat racing is a sport consisting of a crew of 20 paddlers, 1 sweep and 1 cox (drummer) who race in dragon boats against other crews over various distances between 200m to 5000m.
Dragon Boat Racing originated in china over 2000 years and is now the second most participated sport in the world with participation in 62 countries worldwide.

Where?
Bank St, Pyrmont, just underneath the Anzac Bridge
We meet in the Dragon boat car park with a wired-fence.
How do I get there?
By car:Heading towards city on Western Distributor, take the Bridge Rd exit,
turn right at lights onto Bank St, then head straight down Bank St and
the wire-fenced car park will be on your left.
And most importantly... FREE PARKING!
From city after work:501 bus from Town Hall (George and Bathurst) and Central (George St Railway Square).
| Town Hall | Central | Pyrmont |
| 5:37pm | 5:44 | 5:55 |

| 6:16 | 6:23 | 6:34 |
| 6:31 | 6:37 | 6:48 |
Bus goes down Harris St and turns left onto Miller St, Pyrmont. Hop off at Miller St next to the Light Rail Fish Markets stop. Walk down street to traffic lights and turn right onto Bank St. A 2 min walk down Bank St and the wire-fenced car park will be on your left. Too easy!
Getting home just speak up early and ask around if you need a lift back. We`re not just teammates, but we`re also friends.
What should I wear?
Swimmers, t-shirt and shorts (quick dry material is better), thongs, cap or sunnies optional
What should I bring?
Water bottle (bring on the boat). Towel, sunscreen, change of clothes and some cash since we usually grab a bite to eat afterward.
