What we’re about
Southern Storm Paddling Club is a growing Dragon Boat club based in the Melbourne Docklands on Victoria Harbour.
Dragon Boating is a team sport with up to 22 people in a boat so it's more about working together than anything else. Paddling in the boat requires full body movements where flexibility and timing are just as important as strength. It's the perfect sport to build strength and cardio while meeting new friends.
You don't need experience in the sport to join us, we will provide you with everything you need to get started and ongoing coaching and training as long as you are prepared to put in the time and effort.
We train on Saturday mornings from 8.30am, and 6:00pm Tuesday & Thursday nights throughout the year. Once you attend our introductory session, you are welcomed to join our regular sessions.
Get a free Dragon Pass and train with us for a month to get addicted to this amazing sport!
