We are one of Australia's largest clubs offering Dragon Boat and Outrigger Canoe racing experiences for all ages.
The Ice Dragons Paddle Club was formed in 2003 and was founded on the success of a social Canberra dragon boat team. In 2012, Ice Dragons amalgamated with the Canberra Outrigger Canoe Club (COCC). The club has since grown to become one of Australia’s premier clubs with approximately 150 members strong.
In 2009 the club captured the Guinness World Record for the longest distance paddled in a 24-hour period in a dragon boat. We were the National Dragon Boat Champions in 2011, and made our debut on the international stage at the 2012 Club Crew Dragon Boat World Championships in Hong Kong, coming home with a silver medal. In 2013, our crew brought home the bronze medal in the National Changeover Outrigging Club Championships and qualified for the 2014 Club Crew Championships for dragon boating in Ravina, Italy.
We are now recognised as the ACT Peak Body for outrigging and the only local club to offer both dragon boat and outrigger canoe racing opportunities with many of our members also competing as members of the state and national teams.
