Calm waters, an almost full boat, new drills, lots of laughs, lollies, and coffee afterwards — Saturday morning on The Strand had it all.

Our paddlers enjoyed beautiful conditions on the water, worked through some new drills with Coach Colleen, and also tried a new warm up and cool down from Coach Nik. It was one of those sessions that fills your cup in all the best ways.

Thinking about trying dragon boating? We’d love to welcome you. We’re a supportive group for breast cancer survivors and supporters, and all fitness levels are welcome.

Did you know that March 2nd-8th is Lymphoedema Awareness Week, and March 6th is World Lymphoedema Day?

Lymphoedema is the term given to swelling resulting from the lymphatic system not working correctly. This can relate to damage to the lymph system caused by treatment for breast cancer.

Research has shown that regular upper body exercise can help reduce the risk and severity of lymphoedema. Dragon boating provides exactly that - controlled, repetitive arm movements to strengthen muscles, stimulate lymph flow and support improved circulation. Paddlers often report improved range of motion, increased strength and better symptom management.

Dragon boating is powerful therapy in motion. Strong strokes. Stronger bodies.

Do you have a story to share on how paddling supports your recovery after treatment for breast cancer? Or are you ready to feel the difference yourself? Find a crew and get on the water.

First session back on the water after a few wild-weather weeks… and what a morning it was 💙

High tide. Glassy, flat seas. A soft breeze. Sunshine sparkling across the water.

Two full boats — everyone so ready to paddle again. The energy was beautiful. And then… DOLPHINS 🐬✨

You know those mornings that just fill your emotional cup right up? This was one of them.

We started with lymphatic warm-ups with Nik, then Coach Colleen guided us through a gentle, steady paddle to get everyone moving again. Huge thanks to our sweeps Gaye & Desley for keeping us safe and steady.

So grateful for these strong, vibrant women, for the support we share, and for North Queensland turning on the scenery and wildlife like only it can.

Rain may have kept us off the water yesterday, but nothing stops DATi 💕

Instead of paddling, we enjoyed a beautiful walk along The Strand — because connection matters just as much as training.

Today was our second social event of the year — exploring Born or Built: Our Robotic Future at the incredible Queensland Museum Tropics 🤖✨
Such a thought-provoking exhibit!

We then shared lunch at the stunning new Flinders Street Wharves — great food, lots of laughs, and the best company.

This is what DATi is about.
Paddling with purpose.
Support.
Friendship.
Strength.

If you’ve been thinking about trying dragon boating, now is your sign 💗
Come and paddle with us — 4 weeks free to give it a go.
