Illawarra Dragon Boat Club

Illawarra Dragon Boat Club The Illawarra Dragon Boat Club is for anyone who wants to paddle for fun, fitness or competiton. It's a very friendly environment so why not come and try.

The Illawarra Dragon Boat is located in the Illawarra, in NSW, Australia. The area includes the Wollongong, Kiama and Shellharbour regions. We paddle on the beautiful Lake Illawarra, which is about 100km south of Sydney. The Illawarra Dragon Boat Club invites men and women of all ages and fitness levels, to join us either socially or competitively. Illawarra Dragon Boat Club started in 2009. It grew out of the Illawarra Dragons Abreast which was a local dragon boat club for Breast Cancer survivors and supporters. In 2009, a group of very dedicated members realised that the club could grow from strength to strength if it was incorporated and with the encouragement of Dragon Boats NSW, a new club was formed that everyone in the Ilawarra can join


The club has grown in numbers, has acquired a new boat and has also increased the number of training days from one a week in summer to three times a week, all year round. This has been a huge bonus for the members of the Illawarra Dragons Abreast, who can now train more regularly and more often with many new friendsThe Illawarra Club is now competing regularly in regattas throughour NSW. Dragon boating is the world's fastest growing team sport. It involves 20 paddlers, 2 abreast in a long boat. There is a sweep at the back who steers the boat and a drummer at the front who keeps the paddlers in time. We also have a coach for training days. Nothing is nicer than an early morning paddle with the watchful pelicans and the graceful black swans as company, or perhaps it is a late afternoon paddle with the sun setting behind the mountains

Training, thanks Natalie and Wynette for sweeping and for our supporters for
joining us. 15.09kms in 1 hr and 57 mins with a rainy start, a rainbow and finally some sun to take us home. As you can see on map, we went around Gooseberry Island 4 times and didn’t get dizzy!
