Brisbane

Dragons Abreast Brisbane (affectionately known as Team Missabittatitti or MBT) is a special group of breast cancer survivors and supporters.

Our club has a proud history as a dragon boat club of offering a supportive and understanding environment to breast cancer survivors since 2000.

We were founded on the principle of inclusiveness and work hard to maintain strong ties with other local dragon boat racing clubs.

We invite NEW paddlers to attend our Come and Try sessions to see if dragon boating is for you.  Contact us at [email protected]  or via our website https://dragonsabreastbrisbane.com.au/dragon-abreast-brisbane-contact-us/    for more details.

Training Times

Saturday morning – 7.00am for preparation and a warm-up and then we’re on-water for about an hour.
Followed by breakfast at a local café.

Don’t worry if you have not paddled before, we make sure our new paddlers are looked after.

What to Wear and Bring

Great attitude.  You will get wet.  It’s a water sport.
Wear shorts/leggings and a light-weight top which dries quickly (i.e., no denim or heavy material)
Water (in a plastic bottle with lid tight enough to keep out the yummy Brisbane River water)
Anti-slip shoes/sneakers/closed-in sandals suitable for water sports
Lightweight waterproof jacket if it’s cool, wet or windy
A cap/sunhat, and maybe sunglasses
Sunscreen
A towel and some dry clothes and shoes to change into afterward

And did we mention … bring a bottle of water to take with you in the boat.

We will provide
A warm welcome and support
Coaching
Paddle and life jacket to borrow each week.
