Slaney Purple Paddlers

Slaney Purple Paddlers Slaney Purple Paddlers is a dragon boat club for breast cancer survivors based in Wexford at WHBTC.

Slaney Purple Paddlers is Wexford's first Dragon Boat Club which has been established at Wexford Boat Club and is specifically for breast cancer survivors. Dragon boating is a water-based team-paddling sport and the boat can hold up to 22 people, including a person at the helm and also a drummer. Evidence has shown that exercise is not only safe, but beneficial. Exercise can improve mental health,

boost energy levels and promote better sleep. A gradual programme of upper-body exercise in those treated for breast cancer can help improve movement to the area of surgery and/or radiation therapy. It’s a great way to get active, fit and healthy so why not give it a go!
