HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! 🦥💪🏽💜

To our Sloths boys and all the amazing fathers out there, today we celebrate your strength, not just in the boat, but in everything you do for your families.

True strength is showing up, leading by example, protecting, supporting, and being there through the good days and the tough ones. 💪🏽

May you continue to be the strong foundation your families can always lean on, and may you still have enough strength left to smash a few paddling sessions with us! 😂🤞🏽

Happy Father’s Day to all the strong dads out there! 🥳💜🦥

From Nationals to what’s next 💜

Premier Open 🔥

🥈 200m
🥈 500m
🥉 1km

Looking back, that weekend was something special. The energy, the noise, the races, and everything in between. AusChamps was more than results. It was the full experience.

Early mornings. Pool sessions. Beach walks. Team dinners, grocery runs, bus rides, sideline cheers, and quiet recovery moments. These are the parts that brought us closer and made the whole campaign unforgettable.

We showed up, raced hard, and backed each other all the way. Going head to head with the best in the country and doing it together is something to be proud of.

These results didn’t just happen in one weekend. They reflect a strong campaign across the entire season. The consistency, the work behind the scenes, and the belief we built along the way all led to this.

Looking forward, it is about carrying this momentum into what’s next. Reset, recover, then build again with bigger goals ahead.

Grateful for the journey.
Proud of this club.

Always a Sloth 💜
