our teams
A dragon boat team consists of 20 paddlers, a drummer (stroke caller) and a sweep (stands and steers at the back).
We are VUW students, staff and friends - you do not have to be part of VUW to join!
We enter one or two teams each season depending on numbers. We can accommodate both competitive and more relaxed paddlers, especially with two teams. Whichever boat you end up in, you'll train hard, compete hard, learn heaps and love every moment!
Sweep training is run by our good friends at the Central Region Dragon Boat Association. Bonus: sweep training is free and you can even achieve national accreditation - get in touch if you're interested.
