Dragon Boat ACT (DBACT) is the top dragon boat sports club in Canberra, serving as the governing body for the exciting sport of dragon boating in the Australian Capital Territory. The club offers a dynamic and inclusive environment for individuals of all ages and fitness levels to engage in the unique and exhilarating sport of dragon boating.
Dragon boating is not just about physical strength and fitness, but also about fostering a culture of community, commitment, and determination. With 20 paddlers working together in harmony, it's the team that functions as a single force that achieves success on the water. Dragon Boat ACT was first established in 1990 by passionate individuals dedicated to developing the sport and fostering the dragon boat culture within the Canberra community.
Located on the picturesque Lake Burley Gryphon, DBACT operates its training and regatta base at Grevillea Park, Menindee Drive, near the Boathouse Restaurant. Boasting over 600 members across nine sports teams and two school teams, DBACT proudly supports and promotes dragon boat racing at both local and international levels.
One of the unique offerings of Dragon Boat ACT is the Dragon Pass, which allows newcomers to try dragon boating for free for a one-month period. If you've never paddled before, simply go to our Clubs page, select a club that suits you, and sign up for your Dragon Pass on their membership page. You can even try out multiple clubs during the one-month period to find the one that best suits your needs.
In addition to its focus on competitive dragon boat racing, DBACT also welcomes community teams to participate in team building events. These events provide a fun and engaging way for groups to come together, build camaraderie, and experience the thrill of dragon boating firsthand.
