Dragon Boat club run out of uWaterloo in partnership with the Waterloo Paddling Club. We strive to be the best crew in Canada!

Description

Founded by two Waterloo Engineering students in the summer of 2008, UWDBC started off as a local recreational team that participated in only a single regatta — the Waterloo Kiwanis Dragon Boat Festival. A year after, the sheer desire to ‘make a mark’ led the team to compete in the Toronto International Dragon Boat Festival as well as the local regatta in Waterloo. Over the next few years, we progressed at an outstanding pace in management, visibility, and athletic performance of the club. We recruited more paddlers, competed in more regattas, and enjoyed the steady climb that our team has made in the rankings. This year, the dominating performance of the club has taken everyone by surprise at the Milton and Pickering regattas so far. Winning the world championships in Hong Kong is only strokes away. In only five years since the humble beginnings, the club managed to secure our own boat and practice site at Laurel Creek Conservation Area, dozens of paddles and life-jackets, various sponsors, and fame across the University and the dragon boat community. In only five years, we are strokes away from the top.
