The Canberra Griffins Dragon Boat Club is a loud, proud, and strong paddling community based in Canberra. We are all about great paddling, good company, and pushing ourselves to be our best—both on and off the water. 

Our crew welcomes everyone, from first-time paddlers to seasoned racers, and we train hard on the waters of Lake Burley Griffin. We compete at local and national events with plenty of spirit and determination, but just as importantly, we support each other, celebrate every success, and make sure we have fun along the way.

The Canberra Ice Dragons Paddle Club is an inclusive family friendly club, with a diverse representation of new and experienced paddlers. We welcome all genders, ages and fitness levels.

A commitment to diversity is woven into our values. We believe that our club is strongest when we embrace our members' differences. Whatever your age is, where you come from, and how you identify, you are welcome here. We train hard, race fast and laugh lots. We are fit, fun and fabulous! We proudly support the sport of Dragon Boating in the ACT, and we compete locally, interstate and internationally.

Diamond Phoenix welcomes women of all ages, our current members range from teens to 70+. Our members have different goals, and we cater for social paddlers, paddlers that love to work out, and paddlers that compete in regattas, locally and interstate, including National and Masters Championships. 

We train Monday evenings, Thursday and Saturday mornings. Our training schedule varies in winter so please check our website for up to date information on training times. After training on Saturday we usually enjoy a coffee and cake at a local cafe.

The Dragon Flyers aim to keep fit and healthy, enjoy competition (at local, national and international regattas) and have fun through regular social activities, enjoying our camaraderie on and off the water.

Our members include novices, social paddlers, high performance paddlers and in-between and our fitness and health training and programs are particularly beneficial for Masters (40+) paddlers.

NAVMAT Dragon Boat Racing Club is a diverse and inclusive group of people of all ages who enjoy physical activity, team-work, being outdoors, fitness development and social interaction. 

We love to race at local, interstate and international regattas, and several of our team members have been selected to represent Australia internationally as part of the Auroras National team. 

Our battle cry is “POWER! SPEED! SUCCEED!”

The club prioritises individual safety and inclusiveness, and our Saturday morning “coffee run” is perfect for new paddlers or those returning from a break – but all paddlers benefit and enjoy the focus on technique, and a stop for coffee and a chat. Our Tuesday and Thursday evening squad sessions (plus early Saturday and Monday mornings in summer) are more intense. 

With NAVMAT, whatever your paddling goal we will support you to achieve it!

For students attending Canberra Grammar School only.
