Canberra Ice Dragons Dragon Boat Club

Canberra Ice Dragons Dragon Boat Club We are an established ACT dragon boat club that welcomes paddlers of all ages and levels of experience. The boat is painted with scales.

In the past we have been both the Australian and the ACT dragon boat club of the year. The Ice Dragons is a diverse club which welcomes all paddlers, new or experienced, male, female or non-binary, from any age group. Regardless of what your reason is for joining the club, be it friendships, fitness or your drive to compete, there is something to suit everyone within the Ice Dragons club. The Canberra Ice Dragons Dragon Boat was formed in 2003, and was founded on the success of a social Canberra dragon boat team. The club then grew to become one of Australia’s premier clubs. In 2009 the Club broke the Guinness World Record for the longest distance paddled in a dragon boat over a 24-hour period. We were the National Dragon Boat Champions in 2011, and made our debut on the international stage at the 2012 World Club Crew Dragon Boat Championships in Hong Kong, with the men’s crew bringing home a silver medal.

The Dragon Boat is deeply imbedded in China’s “Dragon” Culture, with each boat having an ornately carved dragon’s head at the bow and a tail in the stern. The paddles symbolically represent the dragon’s claws. A dragon boat team consists of 20 paddlers sitting two abreast, plus a Sweep who steers the dragon boat from the rear and a drummer who sits at the front. The team of paddlers work in unison to propel the boat forwards from a standing start, the aim being to reach the finish line in the fastest time.
