Komodo
Paddle Club
Train. Compete. Have fun!
Paddling in a dragon boat is great way to get fit and enjoy the outdoors from a totally different perspective.
Our members are from a wide and diverse range of ages, backgrouds and fitness levels, so you’re to fit in!
Whether your goal is to improve your fitness, meet new people, to be competitive, or just to try something new, everyone is welcome in our boat
Our Team
Komodo Paddle Club was first started in 2010, with the goal of being competitive but at the same time welcoming to everyone who just wanted to have a go at paddling. We have since grown into one of the most successful dragon boat clubs in Canberra, with our paddlers achieving success both nationally and on the international stage, with many of our paddlers having represented Australia with the Australian National Dragon Boat team, the Auroras.
The heart and strength of our club has always been with our members. We are proud of the welcoming community and the sense of belonging that we have fostered in our club, and continues to grow with all of our new members. At the end of the day, we’re all just a group of like-minded individuals, who are willing to train hard, paddle for one another, and have a laugh along the way.
Our Training
We train out of the ACT Dragon Boat facility in Grevillea Park. Our season begins in August/September, culminating in the Australian National Championships in April.
Never paddled before? Not to worry! Our friendly coaches and other experienced paddlers will always be on-hand to guide you through your first session.
These are our regular training times during the dragon boat season, but feel free to reach out as there’s always a few brave Komodos that keep paddling throughout the winter break.
Mon – Wed: 17:45 – 19:00
