The club was established by Iain Williams in 1972 when its members played mainly in international canoe polo tournaments. Iain was the designer and builder of the most successful competitive RFG canoe polo of the day, the Dragon Bat. In the early days the athletes were always drawn from the South Wales area of local clubs like GVP and Bridgend. Guest players have always been an integral part of th
e 'Team Selection' and they often provided a platform for social polo players who liked to play for fun but often do not play with teams who allow a laid back approach to the game. In recent years players have been drawn-on long term from other clubs which have helped the team's more regular line-up, providing some more consistency in results. The Dragon's have won seven successive Welsh National League titles, the Welsh Open, the Liverpool and Hull International in the U.K., the Irish Open, the Yprers International and the Charleroi International in Belgium, the Fribourg International in Switzerland and the Cup of the North in Canada as well as many other events. The team currently plays in the British National League, the Welsh National League and also in the South West Regional League. Each year they also attend around ten International Tournaments and currently have three team GB members in their team.
