The Club

Club History


The Adelaide Sea Dragons can trace its roots back to 1986 when dragon boat racing began in South Australia.

The amalgamation of three corporate teams and the original sports team (Adelaide Dragon Boat Racers) has resulted in a strong club that competes in all categories of racing.

The Club has been State Champions in various divisions over the years, tasted success in the 2000-2005 Australian Championships and competed in the 2004 World Club Crew Championships, Cape Town.

Club members also competed in the 25th Penang International Dragon Boat Festival in 2004, and 6 members represented Australia in the 2004 World Championships in Shanghai.

2003 Australian Masters Games, in Canberra proved successful winning 2 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze medals.

The ADR Sea Dragons are also the current record holders for the 100k Marathon Canoe Club Murray River race in the dragon boat class. We compete in this grueling event each year over the June long weekend. It is 3 days of tough paddling and great fun.

We also run regular WEA courses that introduce paddlers of all ages and abilities to our sport over a 4-week training period.

ADR Sea Dragons use the latest innovations available to improve our capabilities ie ergo machine, state of the art paddles, GPS, Cox-Vox & video equipment.


Club Philosophy


Our Club philosophy is "unity, harmony and competitiveness". We always strive to win, and train hard to achieve that, but underlying that is a culture which places high emphasis on fun and always ensure that whatever we undertake is enjoyable.
