About Easts
The Eastern Suburbs Dragon Boat Club (Easts) was established in 2003 and is a friendly, inclusive club training on beautiful Sydney Harbour.
Our members range from social paddlers through to competitive racers, with opportunities to compete in women’s, men’s and mixed categories at Dragon Boats NSW regattas and other events throughout the year.
Easts runs regular training sessions each week, led by our team of four experienced coaches. Sessions combine fitness, technique, teamwork and plenty of variety, with individual guidance to help paddlers develop their skills and get the most from their time on the water.
And with Sydney Harbour as our training ground, it’s a pretty special way to start the day.
FITNESS, FUN & COMMUNITY
Dragon boating is a low-impact, full-body workout that combines cardio, strength and endurance — but you don’t need to be super fit to get started.
Whether you already train regularly or you’re looking for a fun reason to get off the couch and become more active, there’s a place for you in the boat at Easts. As your technique and fitness improve, you can challenge yourself as much as you like.
And Easts is about much more than training and racing. Our members enjoy a strong social side to the club, with weekend breakfasts after training and regular social events throughout the year.
It’s a great combination of fitness, teamwork, competition, friendship and fun — all while spending time on beautiful Sydney Harbour.
If you enjoy being part of a team and love the idea of getting out on the water, come and give dragon boating a go!
WHEN WE PADDLE
We meet at the Rose Bay Scout Hall, 8 Vickery Avenue, Rose Bay — right next door to Club Rose Bay — before heading down to the water for training.
New paddlers are encouraged to start with our Saturday sessions, where you’ll learn alongside other new paddlers and receive an introduction to the basics before joining the regular training program.
