UCDBC is a dragon boat racing club built upon passion, drive, and resilience. Being one of the fastest university teams in Canada in the mixed, open, and women’s division, we pride ourselves on cultivating a welcoming environment that fosters personal growth and development. We are open to any skill level and experience – whether you are a seasoned paddler, or brand new to the sport – there is a place for you at UC. We continuously work to train athletes with equal attention and push each individual to their potential, but also ensure that athletes have a supportive community and an environment to build meaningful friendships.

We compete at several regattas during the summer, including the Canadian Nationals, in which we placed 1st the in U24 Open and 3rd in U24 Women’s Division Championships 2023! UC will be competing on the international stage in Ravenna, Italy in 2024, and we are currently recruiting for our competitive roster. 

Want to get started at the gym? We have trainers during the school year to help you get stronger and achieve your fitness goals. Outside of training, we host a myriad of social events and gatherings, as team bonding is an element that we highly value. Outside of the team, we reach out to help promote the sport of dragon boat, hold fundraiser events, and encourage fitness within our local community. We aim to continue to become a top-performing dragon boat team and push our athletes to become the best version of themselves in and out of the boat, and we hope you join us along this journey as well. 

Make Waves. Make History.
