Waikato Treasure Chests Dragon Boat Club

Waikato Treasure Chests Dragon Boat Club Waikato Treasure Chests / Waikato Snap Dragons ... Breast Cancer survivors and supporters Look out for our bright pink flag, we would love to see you.

Waikato Treasure Chests Dragon Boat Team (WTC) are a women’s dragon boat team who are committed to providing a quality sports and recreation experience for all women of abilities and capabilities. We create opportunities for all women who have goals of wellness and belonging through offering a warm and welcoming space for women to connect. Our team competes under two categories:

· Breast cancer survivors
· Open women

Breast cancer awareness is driven by our paddlers with the disease who have chosen to regain control of their lives. It reaches out to other women with a message of hope as they build a life after breast cancer.

“To know about dragon boating and all its benefits is great but to come and experience it is immense!” Our ethos/culture is about inclusivity and wellbeing. Quotes from some of our paddlers:

Tracy: “Dragon Boating for Waikato Treasure Chests has been a really empowering experience for me. I have gained back my confidence, strength, passion, and fitness doing something I love. “
Teresa: “I think I have found another network of strength with Waikato Treasure Chests. I am excited to see where this adventure takes me!”

We meet and train on Lake Rotoroa and welcome new members throughout the year. Touch base today through our page or via our email [email protected]

Happy Father’s Day to all the WTC dads!

Today we’re celebrating the dads (and others who “dad”) who support, encourage, cheer us on and put up with our crazy dragon boat adventures! 😂

A special shout-out to our WTC dad and coach Shaneo, who’s taken the father-daughter combo to the next level — coaching and training his daughter Gracie to become a dragon boat sweep. 🐉

A pretty special duo, and one WTC is super proud of! 💗

Happy Father’s Day!

Day One of the Waikato Dragon Boat Association’s sessions with the Hamilton Girls’ High School Advanced PE classes saw around 90 students jump into dragon boats to learn the basics, work together and, most importantly, have some fun on the water.

The Waikato Treasure Chests loved being part of the day and helping introduce so many young women to our amazing sport. It’s always fantastic to see new faces giving dragon boating a go!

Thanks to everyone who helped make the morning such a success. Bring on next week’s sessions—we’re looking forward to doing it all again!

Good luck to all our Kiwi athletes at the Commonwealth Games! 🇳🇿

We’ll be cheering loudly… and absolutely not noticing that dragon boating still isn’t on the programme.

Nope.
Not thinking about it at all.
