💖 DAA & BCS Participation

DAA will be proudly represented by Breast Cancer Survivor (BCS) teams from across Australia — including club-based and composite crews. Whether racing in pink and teal or your club colours, all BCS paddlers are invited to bring their strength, joy, and unity to the water.

With France’s IBCPC Festival also on the horizon later in 2026, this year’s Nationals will be a special opportunity for many to race, build form, and share the journey with paddling sisters — both new and familiar.
